We have a Server that sends some data to a client(both written using c++/MFC) using sockets
The data is getting a little too big and I’m looking for solutions to compress it. Basically I need to compress some char Arrays

I am not very familiar with MFC. I looked at zlib but I had a hard time getting anything compiling with my VS project. I am also able to use CLI (I tried using GZipStream and got it to work on C# but when I tried it on c++ I can’t manage to get the CLI arrays to play nicely with the c++ char arrays)

    Is zlib a mandatory requirement of your project ?
    Otherwise, some other programs have simpler header file, which are easier to work with.
    For example, this one (tested with GCC and MS’s VS) :

    int LZ4_compress (char* source, char* dest, int isize);

    int LZ4_uncompress (char* source, char* dest, int osize);
