How to access the body of Response in Iron's AfterMiddleware?

I'm trying to access the body of a response in some AfterMiddleware, response.body gets me a "ResponseBody".. I then tried using "write_all" to try to get access to the actual body.

For example this snippet:
impl AfterMiddleware for GzipAfterMiddleware {
fn after(&self, request: &mut Request, mut response: Response) -> IronResult {
//Check 'accept request' to see if the Request allows gzip, if so, gzip before sending.

    let raw_accept_encoding = request.headers.get_raw("Accept-Encoding").unwrap();

    for accept_encoding in raw_accept_encoding
    {
        println!("raw_accept_encoding: {}", str::from_utf8(accept_encoding).unwrap());

        if str::from_utf8(accept_encoding).unwrap().to_lowercase().contains("gzip")
        {
            response.headers.set(ContentEncoding(vec![Encoding::Gzip]));
            let mut encoder = GzEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::Default);

                match response.body {
                Some(body) => //Who?
                {
                    let mut respBody: ResponseBody;
                    let mut ActualContent: [u8];

                    body.write_body(&mut respBody);

                    respBody.write_all(&mut ActualContent);
                    //let ptr = (respBody as Box<Any + 'static>).downcast::<WriteBody>();

                    encoder.write_all(body);

                    let compressed_bytes = encoder.finish().unwrap();

                    Ok(compressed_bytes);
                    //compressed_bytes.modify(res);
                },
                None => Ok(response),
            }
         }
    }

    Ok(response)
}

The biggest issue I'm then getting is this error:
error[E0277]: the trait bound [u8]: std::marker::Sized is not satisfied
--> src/main.rs:389:29

389 | let mut ActualContent: [u8];
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait std::marker::Sized is not implemented for [u8]
|
= note: [u8] does not have a constant size known at compile-time
= note: all local variables must have a statically known size

Any thoughts? Thank you!!!
