Zlib::GzipReader/Writer and strings

[jim]

Hi

Is there a way for Zlib::GzipReader or GzipWriter
to read and write to a string as a StringIO object?

I have tried and am not having any luck.

I am using Ruby 1.8.1.

Thanks

Just doing Zlib::GzipReader.new(anIO) (where anIO responds to #read
with the same semantics as IO) works for me.
=> "foofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoofoo"

Thanks. I think I was missing the b.finish statement.
