Description

The java.util.zip.Deflater class does not provide access to
the "partial flush" feature of the zlib library. Thus, the
DeflaterOutputStream cannot (and does not) implement
the flush method. However, this is a breach of the
OutputStream interface contract. The flush method, to quote
its documentation, "will write any buffered output bytes".
It is clear that DeflaterOutputStream was written with the
thought of a single-shot compression of a whole file. However,
I am using zlib as a continuous-stream compresser. I need to
be able to flush it!
