1) Does it work with the sample URL: 
http://www.vegguide.org/plain/sample.rss ? If yes, then I'm guessing the 
authentication cookie in the cookie_jar has expired.

2) Does it work using the CLI curl?

[PHP] Is Curl GZIP support broken?

[Dac Chartrand]

The following code used to work until i upgraded to 4.3.6

Code:
---
// Get RSS feed
$c =
curl_init('http://www.vegguide.org/rss/feed.rss?all=1omit_hours=1');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_jar);
// *** This next line is the problem! ***
$data = curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);
Expected result:

$data should be text. xml_parse($xml, $data) should be able to handle it.
Actual result:
--
$data is compressed gzip binaray data. I can't use it in this format.
What changed?

Check curl_errno() and curl_error().

it sounds like there is a problem with your libcurl

I'm not getting any errors using the above functions.

Sample PHP code is available at:

http://www.vegguide.org/plain/rss-code/get_and_parse_vegguide_rss_feed-php

(Requires an account to be able to download RSS data) It used to work, 
now it doesn't. The problem is the follwing line:

$data = curl_exec($c);

$data used to be a string. Now it's GZIP compressed binary data that i 
can't work with.

The only thing that has changed is me upgrading to PHP 4.3.6

Any other ideas?

php simply calls the libcurl function and returns what libcurl came
back with.  There might be problem with the curl.dll your using.

You might want to try setting CURLOPT_ENCODING to 'defalate'.
otherwise dont set any compression requests.

I've tested  your code with php5 and libcurl 7.10 and gzip
compression works fine.

The curl.dll i am using is packaged with the binary distribution of PHP 
(i'm on windows), so if there is a problem with it, there's a problem 
with the PHP distro.

I filed a bug indicating this, but was marked as bogus.

This seems to work (slowly?) under test conditions. I'll keep you posted 
if it works when the 'cron' job is executed several hours from now.

Thank you for your help.
