I call directly onDataAvailable and it seems to be working fine if stream contains only gzip data. But my stream contains response headers(in text) and response body in gzip format.   Then I read whole response first using "nsIScriptableInputStream.read" and separate out headers and response body from whole response. And then I create stream from response body using "nsIStringInputStream".   But I found that using "nsIScriptableInputStream.read", I am not be able to read whole body. I think this is because response body in gzip format. It just read 3-4 character of response body and come out, even though bytes are available there. Problem seems to be in this line http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/io/nsScriptableInputStream.cpp#86 where it appends '\0' character.   How can I resolve this problem??   One solution which I tried is that, I read original stream one by one character till headers, then I pass rest of the stream to streamConvertor. It works fine, but reading character one by one is expensive.   thanks, Hitesh.
