Would something like this also work:
initialize
tcpSocket := etc.
deflateStream := RawDeflateWriteStream on: tcpSocket.
inflateStream := RawInflateStream on: tcpSocket.
nextPutPacket: uncData
deflateStream nextPutAll: uncData; syncFlush.
nextPacket
| uncData |
uncData := inflateStream nextHunk.
uncBuffer addData: uncData.
...
That would be mostmy my usage: having the tcp stream completly
compressed and mostly replacing the tcpSocket by inflate/deflate
streams.
The actual read-loop in my program looks like this:
[[inputStream atEnd not] whileTrue: [self handleData: inputStream
nextHunk]]
I would then after the compression-handshake replace inputStream (which is a
tcp socket
before the handshake) with an inflate stream.
(I'll be digging into this more thise evening)
