Uncompress a gzip file from CURL, on php

Question

Does anyone know how to uncompress the contents of a gzip file that i got with curl?

for example: http://torcache.com/torrent/63ABC1435AA5CD48DCD866C6F7D5E8076603439

Answer 1

Have you tried gzuncompress or gzinflate?

gzdeflate compresses, the opposite of what you want. To be honest, I can't figure out how gzdecode differs from normal uncompressing.

There's also the cURL option CURLOPT_ENCODING:

The contents of the "Accept-Encoding: " header. This enables decoding of the response. Supported encodings are "identity", "deflate", and "gzip". If an empty string, "", is set, a header containing all supported encoding types is sent.

It seems to mean it'll automatically decompress the response, but I haven't tested that.
