[postgis-users] Looking inside a blob

[Paul Ramsey]

You're necessarily going to have to unzip to view things. However,
with the blob API you should be able to get access to a file handle,
and with the right code could do things like view a manifest or
extract individual files without pulling the whole blob over the wire
to a client.
