Which of these functions to read gzip data?

[timmerk]

Hi,

I have a server sending back data with this as one of the headers:

Content-Encoding: gzip

Would I use one of these functions to get the data?

gzdeflate--Deflate a string
gzinflate--Inflate a deflated string
gzuncompress--Uncompress a deflated string

Which one? What are the differences? I don't understand the difference.

Also, maybe there is a better way to read the data in and decode it?

Thanks!
