For a lot of business apps (and I’m sure others as well), there is often a need to download some fairly large data sets. Unless I’ve missed something, there is no way to handle unzipping a file w/ Corona. I believe that the underlying API for unzip is in both iOS and Android so I was wondering if that could be easily added. For a lot of our uses (like downloading databases for times not connected to the Internet), we see massive size decreases in SQLite files when they can be zipped which makes all the difference in the world when downloading over 3G. No need, at least for us, to zip anything, just unzip, if that helps. This could end up being a real issue for us. I found a gzip (I think) implementation in pure Lua but it’s much too slow for real-world use on a handheld device.
