Re: Snort 2.8.6-beta and gzip encoding

[Alex Kirk <akirk () sourcefire com>]

I spent this morning testing this myself, and it appears that some bugs
remain in the gzip code - both in regards to stream reassembly and return
codes from zlib that indicate success, but in different ways. I've filed
some internal bugs here, and hopefully fixes will be forthcoming reasonably
soon. For now, though, I wouldn't expect a great deal of success with gzip
decompression.
