Can a Roku unzip files?

Is there any way for a Roku to unzip a compressed file and grab the contents?

Re: Can a Roku unzip files?

Well the best I can come up with is to use this one web site which will unzip files and then post links to all the files that were within the zipped upped file. That means I have to do a screen scape to get links to the images in the zipped file. But what kills this is the time it would take to upload a file.

Did you try roUrlTransfer.EnableEncodings()?

Mark, I'm not an http guru (though I wish I was and I'm sure my boss wishes I was also) I believe all that does is allow for compress transfer of data. My ultimate goal was a channel that was like a cbz reader.
