Reading gzip files

Question

I found documentation that suggests you can deflate gzip files but I cannot seem to get it to work. Aka, I don't know how to read the file.
Anyone else attempt this? If so, were you successful?

Documentation is listed here https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ifUrlTransfer
See EnableEncodings()

Seems what it means is&nbsp;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression - in other words the http request will add header "Accept-Encoding: ..." so that the server can automaGically send the content gzip-ed or deflate-d. It should all be transparent and you will only know by decreased xfer time for large compressible content. See what happens with WireShark.Also, let's see what Roku stars have to say...
