NVM, urlencode does indeed change the base64 encoded data, but still doesn't seem to be much point. Having said that, Mark is right. (Marks usually are)
Since its the decompress that throws the error, (as I've just seen on my own test) it is looking like what goes in using urlencode, and what comes out, are not the same. Since, as Mark said, apache decodes when the data comes in, then its likely that the second urldecode (done by you, after the server has done it once) munges things to the point where decompress can't work.
