Network Programming in .NET

This may be a long shot, but if anyone ever searches for this string, I know exactly what you are looking at – It’s a base64 encoded zipped string.

Want to see what it actually it, base64 decode the sting, and unzip the result, here’s the code you need in c#

public static void CopyTo(Stream src, Stream dest)
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];

int cnt;

while ((cnt = src.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)) != 0)
{
dest.Write(bytes, 0, cnt);
}
}

public static byte[] Zip(string str)
{
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str);

using (var msi = new MemoryStream(bytes))
using (var mso = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var gs = new GZipStream(mso, CompressionMode.Compress))
{
//msi.CopyTo(gs);
CopyTo(msi, gs);
}

return mso.ToArray();
}
}

public static string Unzip(byte[] bytes)
{
using (var msi = new MemoryStream(bytes))
using (var mso = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var gs = new GZipStream(msi, CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
//gs.CopyTo(mso);
CopyTo(gs, mso);
}

return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(mso.ToArray());
}
}
