Could you add support for zipped OWL file loading #7

Closed Robbie1977 closed 8 years ago

Robbie1977 commented 8 years ago

We have large OWL files (>100MB) and are looking at moving to gzip'd versions which is supported by several other ontology tools but you don't appear to currently support it?

A test example would be: https://github.com/VirtualFlyBrain/VFB_owl/raw/master/src/owl/vfb.owl.gz

See see owlcs/owlapi#348 for discussion of OWL-API support for gzip. Above URL is opened fine by Protege 5.

Is this likely to happen?

This will (for now) only work if you provide a URL, not when uploading the file directly.
