New Comment:
Wez needs to chime in on this...
I stated that it wouldn't work for http (with or without the patch)
because I thought we had disabled shrinking the chunk_size to 1 while
reading into the HTTP headers (for performance reasons). Looking back
at the code I see that the temporary shift into small chuck sizes *IS*
enabled when the STREAM_WILL_CAST flag is set (which it is for the zlib
fopen wrapper).
Maybe it was the conditional set based on the option flag that was the
compromise... in which case I'd say: Go ahead and use
fopen('compress.zlib://http://blah...',... but the patch provided for
gzopen() seems completely unnecessary.

compress.zlib://http://host.file.gz should work fine in php 4, not?
include "compress.zlib://file.php.gz"; works too ;-)

compress.zlib://host/path isn't actually valid.
What is valid however (as of PHP5) is:
$fp = fopen('http://host/path/file.gz', 'r');
/* Maybe a small fread() here to consume gzip headers, I don't recall
if they're sent with deflated content */
stream_filter_append($fp, 'zlib.inflate');
Note: For PHP 5.0 you need PECL package zlib_filter, it'll be rolled
into the core in PHP 5.1 .
The patch supplied above needs further review as I see a big potential
for zlib stream errors with the read buffer blocks that come in with
the headers.

compress.zlib://http:// seems to work
Maybe we could add some deprecation/pointer info in the documentation
of gzopen()
Changing for documentation problem

I did not see this syntax in the documentation.
fopen("compress.zlib://host.com/file.gz")
How would you specify HTTP or FTP ?

Why not use fopen("compress.zlib://host.com/file.gz") and all the other
normal file operations?
