I am trying to generate large zip file (without compression, just storing the files) on the fly and stream it via restify. The zip file can be bigger than 4 GiB in total and I ran to issue with ZIP64 format, that seems not to be supported properly on MacOS.
I tried using node-archiver and yazl, they are both able to generate the zip file, but I am not able to open it via native graphical utility in MacOS (e.g. just double-clicking on the file in Finder). The weirdest thing about this is, that the native unzip command line utility works fine here, just the graphical Archive Utility is not working.
I also tried to create the zip using simple java implementation and the resulting file works ok even with the graphical Archive Utility, so the problem is probably in implementation of node-archiver/yazl libraries. I also tried to create the zip via command line (zip file.zip -0 ...files), and it can also be opened via Archive Utility.
What is the correct way to handle this situation? Is there some other node library that can produce ZIP64 format that can be opened via Archive Utility?
It is necessary to stream the zip file, not storing it on disk. I am running latest version of MacOS sierra (10.12.5 beta) and node 6.9.1.
