class WP_Http_Encoding {}

In this article

Core class used to implement deflate and gzip transfer encoding support for HTTP requests.

Description

Includes RFC 1950, RFC 1951, and RFC 1952.

Methods

NameDescription
WP_Http_Encoding::accept_encodingWhat encoding types to accept and their priority values.
WP_Http_Encoding::compatible_gzinflateDecompression of deflated string while staying compatible with the majority of servers.
WP_Http_Encoding::compressCompress raw string using the deflate format.
WP_Http_Encoding::content_encodingWhat encoding the content used when it was compressed to send in the headers.
WP_Http_Encoding::decompressDecompression of deflated string.
WP_Http_Encoding::is_availableWhether decompression and compression are supported by the PHP version.
WP_Http_Encoding::should_decodeWhether the content be decoded based on the headers.

	/**
	 * Decompression of deflated string while staying compatible with the majority of servers.
	 *
	 * Certain Servers will return deflated data with headers which PHP's gzinflate()
	 * function cannot handle out of the box. The following function has been created from
	 * various snippets on the gzinflate() PHP documentation.
	 *
	 * Warning: Magic numbers within. Due to the potential different formats that the compressed
	 * data may be returned in, some "magic offsets" are needed to ensure proper decompression
	 * takes place. For a simple pragmatic way to determine the magic offset in use, see:
