Gets the uncompressed size of this GZIPInputStream?

Question

I have a GZIPInputStream that I constructed from another ByteArrayInputStream. I want to know the original (uncompressed) length for the gzip data.

Answer 1

No, unfortunately if you wanted to get the uncompressed size, you would have to read the entire stream and increment a counter like you mention in your question. Why do you need to know the size? Could an estimation of the size work for your purposes?
