I'm currently working on a project in which a client python script compresses the input by using gzip package, then, encrypts the compressed data according to AES
, and, finally, it encodes the encrypted data in base64
encoding scheme. On the server side, which was written in golang
I'm following the same steps in the reverse order to reach the original data.
As can be seen from the output, I can decode, decrypt and decompress the data received from the client on my test script. However, while reading the gzip.NewReader
type it throws unexpected EOF error
. (see the output at the very bottom of the question)
So far, I've done it without trimming the padding, however, then it gave me an invalid gzip header error
. Then, just to verify if there are any significant differences between a valid gzip Reader
and the one being created by the script, I gzipped the original data into a compressed form. Apparently, there were no notable differences I could see from outputs, but the differences in bytes which were most likely caused by the change in time that the readers are created:

Now, I'm quite curious about what might be causing this error and how this issue can be solved. I couldn't post the original scripts here due to some restrictions but these are the actual test scripts that I'm currently testing my code. I've tried to give as much as information I could think of at the moment, however, please feel free to ask me if you need any more explanation. I'd really appreciate if you can help me solve this!
Cheers!
