I have a zlib string that I want to decode. Anybody has any idea how to do that? I am trying to figure out what to send with a POST to create a new internal log and the person that created the form is no longer available, but I need to find what are the pieces and data that I need to compress.
I've done something similar years ago using AHK, where I compressed using zlib, then turned it to base64 so I could post it and pass it around as text. Still simply using the zlib API should be enough, especially if you provide all the memory management or fixed buffers of what you expect the data to fit in.
If you just need to decompress one string (that's a file or stream), you can prepend a header and then use gzip to decompress it.
