Encoding parameter

[rap2hpoutre]

Using request, I can add options about encoding: encoding: 'latin1'. Is it possible with r2?

It looks like encoding for request is used when getting text for the response data. Fetch is a browser-first implementation that explicitly is designed for UTF-8 so you'll want to fall back to DataView and TextEncoding APIs (or use polyfills).

const ab = await (await r2.get(url).response).arrayBuffer();
const dataView = new DataView(ab); // May only need this in the browser, use ab in place if so.
const decoder = new TextDecoder('latin1');
console.log(decoder.decode(dataView));
