I would like to download gzip (or similarly encoded) HTML content. If I keep the response in a variable, I can decode the contents using the 'decoded_content' method, as follows (Just extracted from a working script, but not tested):
#################################### use strict; use warnings; use base 'HTTP::Message'; use LWP::UserAgent my $can_accept = HTTP::Message::decodable; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $response = $ua->get($uri, 'Accept-Encoding' => $can_accept); print $response->decoded_content, "\n"; #################################### On the other hand, another variation of the 'get' method can save a response to a file, as in: $ua->get($url, ':content_file' => $filename); But I couldn't find a way to first deflate the contents that is saved to file. Can someone point me to the right part of the LWP package? Thanks, Meir
