upgrading @whatwg-node/server:0.10.3+ breaks express compression middleware

[meabed]

Describe the bug

Last releases where the @whatwh-node/server upgraded to 0.10.3 breaks the compression middleware and hangs requests like introspection and other requests ( but not all )

Your Example Website or App

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/agitated-brahmagupta-p63ldq

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Steps to reproduce:

• Codesandbox is here: https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/agitated-brahmagupta-p63ldq
  As you see the request keeps pending forever and will not receive the schema response in the graphiql

• If we override the package version the application works fine

After this the request works fine

The other solution is to remove the compression middleware and it will work fine

Expected behavior

It should respond with the request correctly

Platform

Very good report. It would have taken us much longer to figure this one out by ourselves. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Hope this will get adressed properly.

This is a bug in compression package which proxies response.write incorrectly.
See more here;
ardatan/whatwg-node#2383

But we will still apply a workaround for it.

@ardatan should there also be an open issue about that on the compression repo?

[ardatan]

@Urigo There is one actually with a PR but it is there since 2016.
expressjs/compression#46

haha wow that is old!

[meabed]

Ugh that's only 9yo 😂

Any alternative to compression maybe is the solution?

Actually there is a plugin for Yoga.
Sadly we haven't documented it yet in Yoga;

import { useContentEncoding } from '@whatwg-node/server';

createYoga({
  plugins: [
     // ...
    useContentEncoding(),
  ]
})

Thank you @ardatan 👏
