Have a look at gzcon, for decompressing data as they arrive. From the help file:
‘gzcon’ provides a modified connection that wraps an existing connection, and decompresses reads or compresses writes through that connection. Standard ‘gzip’ headers are assumed. There is no indication in the gzcon help file that explicitly prohibits socketConnections. Also, see memDecompress for in-memory decompression of the entire object. -Matt On Wed, 2010-09-08 at 00:50 -0400, raje...@cse.iitm.ac.in wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to uncompress gzipped data coming over a socket? > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Matthew S.
