What's the bug you are reporting?  Is it that zip:// streams are
not seekable?  Or is it that this is not documented?

Hello. Well, actually both of them. 

zip:// is not seekable, and if that's wrong then why it's not documented.

Anyway, I am wondering to know why compress://zlib is seekable.

Thx

Thanks for the explanation!

I assume that zip streams are not seekable, because fseek()[1] has
only introduced recently (and maybe zip streams are already
seekable if ext/zip has been built against libzip >= 1.2.0?).
Anyhow, that wouldn't be a bug, but rather a feature request.

And yes, the current behavior should be documented anyway.  I'll
see to it, unless somebody else beats me to it.

From libzip documentation: zip_fseek only works on uncompressed (stored) data. When called on compressed data it will return an error.

So doesn't seems to be doable.

I propose to close as wont fix
