How to compress a string in RFC 1951?

Question

Java

I'm trying to write a client in java for my socket server in php. I am using the gzinflate/gzdeflate functions on the server. On the client, I used java.util.zip.Deflater, but gzinflate swears "data error", and gzuncompress unpacks with a bang. Been trying all day to find info on DEFLATE in java but no success.

What should I use to get gzinflate to decompress what I sent from the client?

Answer 1

Create a Deflater with parameters new Deflater(Deflater.DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, true)
