Decompress gzip data without header using Node.JS zlib module

Question

I have a binary data which is a GZIP compressed string. Both header and footer are absent, but the string is otherwise correct. I verified this by using Node.js zlib.gzip() to compress the same string and then comparing the two binary files.

Is it possible to use zlib library to uncompress files without header and footer?

I think you want zlib.inflateRaw() and friends.
