This page includes a collection of recipes in the urlib3 cookbook.
By default, urllib3 checks Content-Encoding
header in HTTP response and decodes the data in gzip
or deflate
transparently. If Content-Encoding
is not either of them, however, you will have to decode data in your application.
This recipe shows how to decode data in the concatenated gzip format where multiple gzipped data chunks are concatenated in HTTP response.
obj.unused_data
includes the left over data in the previous obj.decompress
method call. A new zlib.decompressobj
is used to start decoding the next gzipped data chunk until no further data is given.
