I'm using urllib2 and accepting gzip and deflate. It turns out that almost every site returns either normal text or gzip. But I finally found one that returns deflate.
Here's how I un-gzip: compressedstream = StringIO.StringIO(data) gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedstream) data = gzipper.read() Un-gzipping works great! Here's how I un-deflate (inflate??) data = zlib.decompress(data) Un-deflating doesn't work. I get "zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check" I'm using python 2.5.2. Can someone tell me exactly how to handle deflated web pages? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
