Sending gzipped data in WebRequest?

Question

I have a large amount of data (~100k) that my C# app is sending to my Apache server with mod_gzip installed. I\'m attempting to gzip the data first using System.IO.Compressi

Answer 1

I looked at the source code for mod_gzip and I could not find any code that decompresses data. Apparently mod_gzip only compresses outgoing data which isn't too surprising after all. The functionality you are looking for is probably rarely used, and I'm afraid you have to do your own decompression on the server.
