Re^2: Read Compressed Post data

I have added module and still no useable data

use CGI;
use Compress::Zlib;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
read (STDIN, $output, $ENV{"CONTENT_LENGTH"});
$PostRecords = uncompress($output) ;
print "MESSAGE was $PostRecords\n";
print "MESSAGE is on the MSMQ";
[download]

am I missing something? any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Don't you need `my $zip = param('zip'); $zip = uncompress($zip);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Are you sure the data is gzipped? What happens if you save the input to a file and use `file` on it? What does it say? Can you uncompress it with `gzip`?	[reply]

saving to file and guunzip results in invalid format The actual java code sending the data looks like this `urlos = connection.getOutputStream(); if(compress) {bufos = new BufferedOutputStream(new GZIPOutputStream(urlos)); } else { bufos = new BufferedOutputStream(urlos);` [download] so I assume that the data is GZIP compressed before being sent by java app and the switch to not use compress was not coded so it is always compressed	[reply] [d/l]

Well, if what you get isn't actually uncompressable with gunzip, then it could very well be that it's not actually in gzip format, is it?	[reply]
