Wow, you digged up something I forgot for my own sake :)
Seriously, did I really made this horrible piece of crap ?
All my apologies for that...

Allthough, if sb is interested in gzip support in httplib, I should have something somewhere on my computer which should do the job in a better way (can't make worst, anyway ;)). It's a complete rewrite of the GzipFile class which doesn't need a random access to the data... I'll upload it tomorrow...
