Hi.

I have a zlib string that I want to decode.  Anybody has any idea 
how to do that?  I am trying to figure out what to send with a 
POST to create a new internal log and the person that created the 
form is no longer available, but I need to find what are the 
pieces and data that I need to compress.  Thanks for your help.

  I've done something similar years ago using AHK, where I 
compressed using zlib, then turned it to base64 so I could post 
it and pass it around as text. Still simply using the zlib API 
should be enough, especially if you provide all the memory 
management or fixed buffers of what you expect the data to fit in.


  If you just need to decompress one string (that's a file or 
stream), you can prepend a header and then use gzip to decompress 
it.
