Description

Download a ZIP archive containing multiple files. Extract and verify the contents.

Test Scenario

// Playwright: Download and verify ZIP
const response = await request.get('/api/v1/files/download?format=zip');

expect(response.headers()['content-type']).toBe('application/zip');

const buffer = await response.body();

// Check ZIP magic bytes (PK)
expect(buffer[0]).toBe(0x50); // P
expect(buffer[1]).toBe(0x4B); // K

// For extraction, use a ZIP library
// const zip = new AdmZip(buffer);
// const entries = zip.getEntries();
// expect(entries.map(e => e.entryName)).toContain('users.csv');

  • •ZIP files start with PK (0x504B)
  • •Use yauzl or adm-zip library to extract
