Qt quncompress gzip data

Question

I stumble upon a problem, and can\'t find a solution.

So what I want to do is uncompress data in qt, using qUncompress(QByteArray), send from www in gzip format. I

Answer 1

Directly using zlib is not that hard.

I've been doing it like this:

QByteArray gUncompress(const QByteArray &data)
{
    if (data.size() <= 4) {
        qWarning("gUncompress: Input data is truncated");
        return QByteArray();
    }

    QByteArray result;

    int ret;
    z_stream strm;
    static const int CHUNK_SIZE = 1024;
    char out[CHUNK_SIZE];

    /* allocate inflate state */
    strm.zalloc = Z_NULL;
    strm.zfree = Z_NULL;
    strm.opaque = Z_NULL;
    strm.avail_in = data.size();
    strm.next_in = (Bytef*)(data.data());

    ret = inflateInit2(&strm, 15 +  32); // gzip decoding
    if (ret != Z_OK)
        return QByteArray();

    // run inflate()
    do {
        strm.avail_out = CHUNK_SIZE;
        strm.next_out = (Bytef*)(out);

        ret = inflate(&strm, Z_NO_FLUSH);
        Q_ASSERT(ret != Z_STREAM_ERROR);  // state not clobbered

        switch (ret) {
        case Z_NEED_DICT:
            ret = Z_DATA_ERROR;     // and fall through
        case Z_DATA_ERROR:
        case Z_MEM_ERROR:
            (void)inflateEnd(&strm);
            return QByteArray();
        }

        result.append(out, CHUNK_SIZE - strm.avail_out);
    } while (strm.avail_out == 0);

    // clean up and return
    inflateEnd(&strm);
    return result;
}

The code is monstly copied from the zlib code example page. You will need to include
