What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Call a webservice 2. During HttpTransportSE.call(), an IOException occurs 3. If the error stream is compressed, ksoap will attempt to read from it without unzipping it first. This causes the xml parser to fail.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: If the server is returning gzipped content, the error stream should be unzipped before reading from it. Actual: The error stream is never unzipped before reading from it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? ksoap2-android-assembly-2.6.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar Android 4.0.4 Android 4.1.1
