Uncompress GZIPed HTTP Response in Java

Question

I\'m trying to uncompress a GZIPed HTTP Response by using GZIPInputStream. However I always have the same exception when I try to read the stream : java.u

Answer 1

Well there is the problem I can see here;

int  iLength = gzip.read (tByte, 0, 1024);

Use following to fix that;

        byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
byte[] emptyBuff = new byte[1024];
                            StringBuffer unGzipRes = new StringBuffer();

                            int byteCount = 0;
                            while ((byteCount = gzip.read(buff, 0, 1024)) > 0) {
                                // only append the buff elements that
                                // contains data
                                unGzipRes.append(new String(Arrays.copyOf(
                                        buff, byteCount), "utf-8"));

                                // empty the buff for re-usability and
                                // prevent dirty data attached at the
                                // end of the buff
                                System.arraycopy(emptyBuff, 0, buff, 0,
                                        1024);
                            }
