Hi all,

Presently I am using winhttp api in c++ to get data from a server. The server can support various compression formats. So presently I want to use winhttp to get the compressed format (eg gzip) and decompress it. Is it possible to decompress the data using winhttp?

thanks
Harsha

No. You're going to have to use other API or third-party compression libraries. Or roll your own, if you like.
sudo rm -rf /

Thanks dargueta. I had been suspecting that.
