Emacs-w3 does not seem to have built-in support for gunzipping stuff automatically. It calls out to "gunzip -c" to handle it. Sometime I'll look up the Emacs-lisp magic to call that on a buffer and replace the buffer contents with the output. In the meantime, I've taken the cheap way out and disabled the sending of "Accept-encoding: gzip".
Posted by bzbarsky at April 27, 2003 11:54 PMsounds like you want to use call-process-region. That will use a region of a buffer as input to an external process, and insert the output of the process in another buffer.
