The compression scheme really has nothing more involved than what I described above. I only left out the detail of how Huffman encoding works, but this is a well known technique. I should add, the iPhone does have gzip compression, but not bzip2. Look up the compress2 function and its complement, uncompress. Ajayksh,

I am quite impressed by your method and the result compression ratio, could you please share more, is there any Java and iPhone API available somewhere? TIA. //ajayksh Hi, I am looking for compressing my text content for an iPhone application, the content is served from a Web Server which is implemented using Java Servlets.
