Re: HELP!! Accessing other machines with an IIS CGI script

[little emma]

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to repost this in comp.lang.python as well
as in a couple of MS IIS groups with some additional information (code
snippets and results).

Decompression with zlib

[Emma Li]

Hello,

I'm trying to do compression/decompression of stuff with zlib, and I  
just don't get it...
Here is an example. I assume that dec should be "a", but it isn't. dec  
turns out to be an empty string, and I don't understand why...


===
import zlib
compressor = zlib.compressobj(6) # level
decompressor = zlib.decompressobj() # wbits

cmpr = compressor.compress("a")
print "compressed", len(cmpr)
dec = decompressor.decompress(cmpr)
print "decompressed", len(dec)

# unconsumed tail and unused data
print "decompressor.unconsumed_tail", decompressor.unconsumed_tail
##print "decompressor.unused_data", decompressor.unused_data

dec += decompressor.flush()
print "after flushing", len(dec)
===

Any help is appreciated.
Emma
