Well, I may do the patch just to help the community, but don't hold your breath ;) Adobe is strange about features especially as gzip uses the same deflate method as zlib, but within a different container so the gzip ActionScript is actually stripping off a few bytes of the binary data and passes the rest to the the deflate method.

 Thanks for everybody who contributed,

 Morc.

checked the code and unfortunately you have to modify the connector code

Yeah, it looks a bit hard-coded. As most of the folks on the list would
say: "patches are always welcome". If you're feeling generous, you could
write one and submit it.

Anyhow we found an ActionScript (Adobe Flash/Air) implementation of
gzip so we're OK for the moment.

Strange that gzip isn't supported out of the box. gzip is not
proprietary, and it's a web standard for content-encoding.

I suppose the same could be said for Tomcat: they arbitrarily chose to
implement gzip and /not/ deflate. :(
