node-stream-zip | node.js library for fast reading of large ZIPs | Runtime Evironment library

I've located the end of a local file header in download stream of a large zip file that

• specifies deflate compression with
• bit 3 set indicating the length of the compressed data follows the compressed data

and would like to now inflate that data using Node zlib but I cannot figure out how to feed data into zlib and receive feedback telling me when the deflate stream has self terminated.

Does Node's zlib library support consuming chunks of deflate data and returning a result letting the caller know when the deflate stream has ended?

Or is this an insane thing to do because it would imply I'm inflating on the UI thread and what I should really do is save the downloaded file and once downloaded use an NPM package? Hm.. well.. either the network is faster than inflation in which case streaming inflation would slow the network (bummer) or the network is slower than streaming inflation so why deflate while streaming (which I can't figure out how to do anyway) when I could simply saving to disk and reload-deflate while I'm sitting around waiting for the network..

Still, for my edification, I'd still like to know if Node supports streaming inflation.
