Re: Deflate Encoding

Quoting mark W <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:   I am working with Gnutella protocol and got stuck with Deflate data.  Thus,
:for analysis I have captured the whole stream returned and stored it as dat file.

The simplest for you at this point is to connect to another Gnutella servent
locally (pick whichever servent you want) and establish a Gnutella connection
with asymetric compression: you send out plain traffic, but accept to get
deflated input from the other servent.

Then you'll be able to get your inflation right.  Once you have inflation
all right (that's the easiest part, mind you), then you'll be able to work
on deflating the stream and immediately checking that it is correct by
plugging your inflating-only servent at the other end and making sure
you get correct traffic.

Then you'll have both sides working (inflation and deflation).

Good luck.
