Uncompress a gzip file from CURL, on php
Solution 1
Use gzdecode
:
<?php
$c = file_get_contents("http://torcache.com/" .
"torrent/63ABC1435AA5CD48DCD866C6F7D5E80766034391.torrent");
echo gzdecode($c);
gives
d8:announce42:http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce13:announce-listll42 ...
Solution 2
Just tell cURL to decode the response automatically whenever it's gzipped
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
Solution 3
libcurl offers a feature that makes it decompress the contents automatically (if built with zlib).
See the CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING option: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING.html
Solution 4
With a zlib Stream Wrapper:
file_get_contents("compress.zlib://http://torcache.com/" .
"torrent/63ABC1435AA5CD48DCD866C6F7D5E80766034391.torrent");
Solution 5
Have you tried setting the header stating that you accept gzip encoding as follows?:
curl_setopt($rCurl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate'));

Does anyone know how to uncompress the contents of a gzip file that i got with curl?
for example: http://torcache.com/torrent/63ABC1435AA5CD48DCD866C6F7D5E80766034391.torrent
responded
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 01:11:26 GMT Content-Type: application/x-bittorrent Content-Length: 52712 Last-Modified: Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:09:58 GMT Connection: keep-alive Expires: Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:11:26 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=2592000 Content-Encoding: gzip Accept-Ranges: bytes
then the compressed gzip,
i tried gzdecode but doesn't work , gzeflate as well doesn't they simply don't get any response, and the contents of the files are no more than 2k
