True, if possible, for sure.

That's correct

Ok, the idea is fairly simple. The application is a http proxy. The proxy
retrieves regular web pages on behalf of the client (IE) and will scan it
before it forwards it, and possibly do some modifications to the page .
Now, when pages are received compressed I cannot read them in the proxy and
therefore I need to decompress them first.
I am unsure yet if I will forward the pages after that to the client
compressed or uncomporessed, probably it does not matter so much. (proxy
may be on the local machine or somewhere on the LAN)
BTW. I just bumped into the zlib.pas unit that is included with Delphi. It
contains a TDecompressionStream object that I maybe can use ? Anyone
experience with that ?
Gerard
