in thread Read Compressed Post data

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?

    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);

    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

      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?
