The documentation for zlib says that it expects an Adler-32 checksum
at the end of the file.
PHP follows this [largely outdated] standard.
Python, on the other hand, doesn't, and uses a different checksum, CRC-32.
That's why it won't decompress. But I've written my own function and
it's working now. :)
function fixAdler32($data) {
$tempnam = tempnam('/tmp', 'gzfix');
$fh = fopen($tempnam, 'wb');
fwrite($fh, "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" . $data);
fclose($fh);
$dat = '';
$gz = gzopen($tempnam, 'rb');
if ($gz == false) die('Error opening temporary GZ file.');
do {
$dat .= gzread($gz, 100000);
} while (!feof($gz));
gzclose($gz);
unlink($tempnam);
return $dat;
}
