Thanks for the replies! :_)
I may be wrong, but I think you can usually just not include gzip in the accept sockwrite and most sites will send it as text instead of gzip so that you don't need to worry about decompressing anything. Might be slightly slower getting the data, but shouldn't be too noticeable if you're just socketing a page and not a large file.
Well, I've tried that. Problem is, some sites *force* it, such as the Discogs API.
