Dec 8, 2021 at 16:33 comment added ocrdu @EdgarBonet: I know, but using base64 encoding makes it easier to copy/paste the contents of a file into the code without breaking it because of the control characters etc. in the gzip-ed file. I had enough memory, so I didn't go the more efficient way of escaping the problematic characters in the gzip output and use that. I will admit to some laziness here.
Dec 8, 2021 at 10:44 comment added Edgar Bonet This is an interesting approach, but I do not see the usefulness in using base64 encoding. It makes your document consume 33% more memory, then you allocate the original size on the stack in order to decode it (at which point it occupies 233% of its size), and you need the extra code for decoding. It would be more efficient to store the gzipped page unencoded, as an array of bytes (not a C string).
