[RESOLVED] Reading it from URL

[Learned]

As some of the gurus are aware that I have been trying to read the zipped file. I tried other stuff mentioned there like infozip but they are having problems as well and in the time I have, I can't implement it. So, I am going to try URL read as some people have created URL to access those date directly from zipped files. So, I started this new thread.

I need example of something that someone has already tried successfully.

If you want to read zipdata from an url you will need to download the data first and then read it, or the server is reading the data for you and gives you the requested data.

Server is reading it. So, when I type in:
http://blah.blah in IE, I get a page full of numbers and texts in a consistent manner.

I got ahead a step in this process. I am using the code from this page:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-10/0079.html

but I do not know how to parse the text in 'res' as it is not a string.

I got it working. Finally something is working in past 2 days.
