Thanks again for thinking about it at all, out loud or otherwise. :P

The 32kB is just something I saw somewhere about gzip streams. I don't remember where, I probably shouldn't have mentioned it.

If I do this (assume proper var scoping)–

            gunzip \$data => \$out;
            print $out, $/;

–it will display something like–

<status>connected</status>
?R??0  ????l??????@?
+U?&#1964;??/?%y???p???v?Po#[???-???x?
>\'&#1000;??4'?V.6?6?&#1444;~5Y???0???C]?$?@m~OgQ?u&#451;8?Y?E?8<?Le?4
+?6??&#1644;&qd?x#1

Amended to–

            $collected .= $data;
            gunzip \$collected, \$out;
            print $out, $/;

[download]

We get (it's ignoring the Accept and returning XML)–

<status>connected</status>
<quote>
    <ask>166.29</ask>
    <asksz>500</asksz>
    <bid>166.26</bid>
    …
</quote>
...

[download]

And then dies after awhile, it's inconsistent where but never sooner than 5kB in, with an "unexpected end" style message.

Adding this lets it run for—maybe, I didn't let it run that long—forever, but it's still stacking up an ever growing scalar and gunzipping the same data over and over–

            $collected .= $data;
            gunzip \$collected, \$out, MultiStream => 1;
            print $out, $/;

I expect I will have to come up with seek/tell/truncate kind of solution to keep the data from growing forever that uses the MultiStream to reset itself automatically. Haven't had time to go back to it. I feel like this must be a solved problem and I'm just looking in the wrong place. :|
