How to read text file that was zipped in GWT?

[Henry]

I know how to read text file in GWT, that's easy.

However if that file got zipped (.zip or .rar), then how can i read
that text file?

How do you read a text file in GWT? What does that even mean?

If you mean reading a zip file on the server, then that isn't a gwt
question, but you should look into ZipFile or ZipInputStream.

I think what he's saying is that if he has a textresource or something
sent zip'd to the client, how would you unzip it? I guess you'd have
to either find a JS or GWT implementation of whatever compression
scheme you're using.

Most browsers (including IE6) understand gzip and will automatically uncompress the content if the appropriate http headers are set. You don't have to write any code to uncompress content. On the server side, you have to add some logic, but it really is trivial.
