I am currently writing an application in C which uses the Internet Library directly, because it offers me much more flexibility than writing a PQA offers. However, when using the Palm VII, the only way I can send/receive data over the radio link is through the "Elaine" proxy server. The problem with this is that all incoming data via the INetLibSockRead() call is compressed using some sort of proprietary algorithm and it appears that it will take me longer to decipher this than I can afford.
So my question is: Is there some API available on Palm OS 3.2 running on the Palm VII which can decompress this data for me? Or is there some "magic" way to force reception of uncompressed data? I did find that if I can run over the wire (which is useless for me) that I can bypass the proxy server in the Internet Library and receive uncompressed data. Unfortunately, you can't bypass the proxy server if you are running over the radio.
Can anyone help? Time is of the essence. Thank you.
