gzip strings without nullbytes

Question

Gzip

Hello residents of habr.
Perhaps someone will find the question strange / stupid,
but is it possible to gzip the string somehow so that the zipped result is without null bytes?
is it possible by the algorithm itself?

Answer 1

The standard does not provide for this, moreover, there will most likely be zero bytes in the header, and in the compressed content itself.
www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-gzip.html
In principle, in my opinion, not one archiver bothers with null bytes.
And what's the problem? Maybe you can solve it differently.

Answer 2

Only manually, since there will be zero bytes at least at the end, there is a size of 4 bytes. Encode to base64, or escape the desired characters after gzip.
