Yes, I'm using Windows. The gethttp verb uses curl, but with the "--compressed" parameter I get:
'--compressed' gethttp api curl: option --compressed: the installed libcurl version doesn't support this curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information Thanks. ________________________________ From: Programming <programming-boun...@forums.jsoftware.com> on behalf of bill lam <bbill....@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, March 2, 2019 10:23 AM To: programm...@jsoftware.com Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Decompressing gzip in J Oh, I tried, stackexchange always responsed with gzip data even wget had not asked. You need to add an extra option in wget --compression=gzip try use --compressed if it is curl. I think you are using windows because your api string won't work on linux, shell will expand special character in it unless quoted. the wget.exe bundled in J are old and does not support the above mentioned option, not sure about the curl.exe in the addon.
