By moving the polyfill into
src/shared/compatibility.js
we can thus get rid of the need to manually export/importReadableStream
and simply use it directly instead.The only change here which could possibly lead to a difference in behavior is in the
isFetchSupported
function. Previously we attempted to check for the existence of a globalReadableStream
implementation, which could now pass (assuming obviously that the preceding checks also succeeded).However I'm not sure if that's a problem, since the previous check only confirmed the existence of a native
ReadableStream
implementation and not that it actually worked correctly. Finally it could just as well have been a globally registered polyfill from an application embedding the PDF.js library.
