gzip Source Code for Visual Studio 2010 or 2012

Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Solution 1

Of course, but it's C, not C++: http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/[^], http://www.gzip.org/[^].

Nevertheless, you can compile this code in a C++ project. Unfortunately, there are no MSBuild project files, you have to make one by yourself.

However, GZIP implementation is included in boost, which is a C++ set of libraries. Please see:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/iostreams/doc/home.html[^].

[EDIT]

A almost forgot! There is another open-source product which supports GZIP immediately, written in C++. This is the famous 7-zip:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-zip#Other_supported_formats[^],
http://www.7-zip.org/[^].

Chances are, you can even use it as is. Of course, it can be run in console-only form. I would prefer 7-zip to anything else.

Thanks, Are you interested in getting paid to do this for me? If so how much?
I need this written for a web server, so must be GZIP
All memory requested must use my procedure "FastMem.Alloc" , "FastMem.Free"
It must be written in Visual Studio c++ 2010 as a console app, using one class as source if possible.
The code will be inserted into the code getting developed.

Why? You can dig out the code from available source...

Busy with the project at the moment, easier to pay someone to do it. My company will pay. I also need SSL Certificates for server. All in C++

I think you can find someone closer to you; not a rocket surgery... and this is a wrong site for hiring...

He went from asking a question to offering you money to do it... guess he gave up rather easily...lol

This is just because this is not a rocket surgery, which is the most informative hint in all this discussion. :-)

Certificated are either self-signed or ordered from one of certificate authorities:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority

As the purpose of a server certificate is only to make sure that the users of the server can trust it (it has nothing to do with security of the service itself), and the user can check with the authority that a site is authentic, self-signed certificate is only good for people who already know that a given certificate can be trusted. For example, it can be good for people who work in your company or otherwise are familiar with your; they could receive a public key token of the certificate from you by some independent channel and use it for validation. In other words, this is the situation when you can play the role of authority by yourself.

There is no need for writing any software for all these purposes.

Ok, thanks

Sure. If you agree this is the answer (yes, it is), please accept it formally (green button) — thanks.

You will not need any change to compile the code with visual studio 2008, not sure about 2010.

Good answer +5
