Improves the code by only accessing req.headers['content-length'] and setting the length option for raw-body when the stream needs no decompression

The charset validation logic has changed incorrectly. Previously, this check was performed when opts.encoding === null (which occurred when verify was truthy), but now it's only performed when options.verify is truthy AND charset is not null. This could skip charset validation when verify is falsy but charset needs to be validated for decoding.

Suggested change
if (options.verify && charset !== null && !iconv.encodingExists(charset)) {
if (charset !== null && !iconv.encodingExists(charset)) {

This can be seen as follow-up to #564. I included the contentstream function in the main read function for multiple reasons:

  • to prevent the req object from being altered by setting length and resetting it in read.
  • This also improves code by only setting the raw-body length option and thus also only calling req.headers['content-length'] when the requests needs no inflation.
