Add fastly.decompressGzip option for automatic decompression #81

@trieloff

Description

@trieloff

Background

Per adobe/helix-deploy-plugin-edge#77 and comment, @adobe/fetch should support the fastly: { decompressGzip: true } option to align Fastly and Cloudflare's fetch behavior.

Proposal

Add support for the Fastly-specific decompressGzip option within a fastly options object:

import { fetch } from '@adobe/fetch';

const response = await fetch(url, {
  fastly: {
    decompressGzip: true
  }
});

Behavior

  • Fastly: Pass through to native fastly.decompressGzip option
  • Cloudflare: No-op (Cloudflare automatically handles decompression)
  • Node.js: Map to existing compress/decode options

Context

Cloudflare Workers automatically decompress gzip responses. Fastly requires explicit opt-in via decompressGzip. Supporting this option in @adobe/fetch allows writing portable code that works identically across platforms.

Implementation Notes

Since @adobe/fetch already handles compression transparently via the compress and decode options (defaults to true), this would primarily be:

  1. Accept fastly.decompressGzip in options
  2. Map to platform-appropriate behavior
  3. Document as the cross-platform way to control decompression
