Update: I made a solution by extracting the deflated stream from the zip using a utility I wrote, and then working with that stream instead of the entire zip contents. The whole mess is here.[^] I just made a stupid. I spent a lot of time and effort getting an ESP32 widget to be able to update its firmware from a .zip file only to realize - after I got it all working - that zip files aren't practical for this, because they store all the information you need first at the END of the file. So you can't stream it over a serial port without reading the whole damned thing first, which isn't practical on this device. I got as far as emailing a colleague about it, producing a github repo and beginning to write an article here before it dawned on me. :rolleyes: Hours I can't get back. Oh well, you can still use the tech from something like an SD card.

I believe in you. You can make it work.
I can, just not with the .zip file format. Which I should have known upfront, considering I wrote the code the parse the format.

Stream it in reverse! :-D

Can you somehow do a 'pre-zipper' that determines that information and redundantly stores it at the beginning of the file somehow?

What I can theoretically do is extract the compressed stream from the zip, store that, and just decompress that.

What you probably need is a stream encoder like ALDC. I see there is a C implementation[^] for it but I don't know if it will fit your needs.

Why not zip each file individually and group of small files as 1? 🤔

I did. The central directory for a zip file is at the end of it, regardless of how many files are in the archive.

I just extracted the compressed stream and used that.
