Handle compressed HTTP

[KarlosTHG]

Hi Guys

Someone knows how to handle compressed data in a HTTP transfer, the compression method seems to be GZIP and i have read some about GZIP compression of files but not about Strings or binary strings like in this case.

So far i have used the HTTP UDF with no problems but this one.

thanks for your help

Don't request it and you won't need to handle it.

ok, but i want to handle it, to save server bandwidth

Surprisingly enough, you have to decrypt the encrypted data with GZIP.

I think, a combination of WinHTTP and zlib should work

Some c++-Code for this task: http://www.haxx.lv/?q=winhttpgzip

ok thanks but

@manadar: yes, i know that but the problem is use gzip with strings

@ProgAndy: i thinks so, but i don't know how to use zlib to decompress strings, for now i will try the c++ code.

thanks

This post ProgAndy linked you to shows how to encrypt/decrypt strings with zlib: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=87284
