Could someone explain this por favor ?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi JBV and Mike,

On one occasion, I had a case where the carriage returns were converted 
to crlf somewhere between the app and the php script. I have also had a 
case where trailing cr's were added to the URL. This could cause the 
decompress function to fail.

I would advice writing both encoded strings, the one produced by the 
client and the one by the server, to a file and comparing them. Download 
the file from the server with a good FTP programme.
