The following should work, if you haven't tried something along these lines already.
Java: String inputString = "Hello, world!"; byte[] input = inputString.getBytes("UTF-8"); byte[] output = new byte[100]; Deflater compresser = new Deflater(); compresser.setInput(input); compresser.finish(); compresser.deflate(output); FileOutputStream out = null; try { out = new FileOutputStream("some_temp_file"); out.write(output); } finally { out.close(); } Python: import zlib zlib.decompress(data) print data Let me know if you run into any trouble, Daniel On Nov 19, 4:30 pm, jago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to create a compressed String in Java and send it to the > appengine where it is decompressed.
