GZip for MFT

Modified on Wed, Apr 1 at 6:49 AM

For very large files, especially MFT, users can benefit from zipping before uploading. There is a special "magic bytes" that all Gzip start with: 


  • 0x1F 
  • 0x8B


ECGrid looks at those first two bytes to automatically unGzip.

 

The various ParcelUploadMFT functions automatically incorporate this feature. 


Please note: The Byte count needs to match the UNCOMPRESSED size of the data before the GZip.
