Thank you bill,
I tried piping the resulting binary stream to busybox within J but it gave me
an error. I may be doing something wrong, I don't usually interact with J using
shell commands.
shell (gethttp api),'|',jpath'~tools/ftp/busybox.exe gunzip'
|domain error: uucp
| 'r pi'=.0 _1{CreateProcessF 0;( uucp y);0;0;inh;f;0;0;si;pi
Nevertheless, the equivalent line works in the windows command prompt.
Despite this, maybe the ideal solution would be to update curl and wget
binaries to support this form of decompression, avoiding the use of multiple
shell utilities.
Thanks.

You can use gunzip to decompress the data.
busybox.exe bundled in j807 should have this function.
