bytewise difference between this package and the CLI

[laszbalo]

Hi,

I created a bunch of compressed files with the help of your package (version 1.0.4). I can decompress them with your library, however I am failing to decompress them with the CLI (neither with version 1.0.7, nor with 1.0.9). Interestingly, your library is able to decompress the brotli files which were created with the CLI.

The brotli files that are produced by both your library and CLI have the same file size, however they differ in content(when I do a byte-wise comparison).

This is how I compress my files with you library:

bw := brotli.NewWriterLevel(&buf, brotli.BestCompression)

Using the CLI:

$ brotli foo.html -o foo.html.br

Decompressing them with your library:

br := brotli.NewReader(os.Stdin)
_, err := io.Copy(os.Stdout, br)

Decompressing with the CLI:

cat foo.html.br | brotli --decompress

Am I doing something wrong here?

Do you close the brotli.Writer after you're done writing to it?
