Recovery is possible but it depends on what caused the corruption. If the file is just truncated, getting some partial result out is not too hard; just run gunzip < SMS.tar.gz > SMS.tar.partial which will give some output despite the error at the end. If the compressed file has large missing blocks, it’s basically hopeless … Read more

Yes, you can access a gzip file randomly by reading the entire thing sequentially once and building an index. See examples/zran.c in the zlib distribution. If you are in control of creating the gzip file, then you can optimize the file for this purpose by building in random access entry points and construct the index … Read more
urlCompression specifies what to compress and httpCompression indicates how to do the compression. If you’re running on IIS7.5, you don’t need to specify anything, both dynamic and static compression are enabled by default, both use gzip; here are some links on urlCompression and httpCompression.
