I'm looking at the DIZipWriter component and have a question re the streaming facility.
I have an application that interfaces with another 3rd party app. That 3rd party app sometimes sends the contents of a file to my app, in blocks of 1 MB. Presently, I use a TFileStream to write out the data to disk, as and when I receive the 1 MB blocks.
I would like to now compress the data before I write it out to disk. Can DIZipWriter do this, without me having to create the entire file first i.e.
- 3rd party app signals file to be sent - my app prepares the archive - 3rd party app sends first 1 MB block in a buffer - I pass the block to DIZipWriter for compression (and output?) - 3rd party app sends next 1 MB block, and same cycle repeats - 3rd party app signals that file has been completely sent - my app then calls DIZipWriter to finalize the archiveIs this possible using DIZipWriter? The file that is sent can range anywhere from 4 MB to hundreds of GBs, which is why I would like to be able to compress it.
Thanks.Ray Mond
