How do I get socket.io to automatically compress my message?
I am using socket.io on my client and server.
As an example, I am sending a 5MB PDF from the server to the client:
const pdf = require('fs').readFileSync('5mb.pdf');
socket.compress(true).send(pdf);
However I am not sure if this is actually compressing...
I say this because I tried the same thing as above but with compression disabled and the Length for both shows up the same in Chrome's Dev Tools:
How do I verify if the compression is actually working? and how do I find out how effective the compression is?

PDF is already a compressed format. Therefore, most of the time, trying to compress one pdf file leads to nearly no changes.
You probably should do the same test with an ASCII file.
