Problems with Delphi XE and ZLib

Question

I work in Delphi XE and am having problems with ZLib routines ...

I am trying to compress some lines (and encode them for sending through the SOAP web service - not really important)

The string obtained from ZDecompressString differs in ZCompressString.

example1:

uses ZLib;
// compressing string
// ZCompressString('1234567890', zcMax); 
// compressed string ='xÚ3426153·°4'

// Uncompressing the result of ZCompressString, don't return the same:
// ZDecompressString('xÚ3426153·°4'); 
// uncompressed string = '123456789'

if '1234567890' <> ZDecompressString(ZCompressString('1234567890', zcMax)) then
  ShowMessage('Compression/Decompression fails');

example2:

Uses ZLib;
// compressing string
// ZCompressString('12345678901234567890', zcMax) 
// compressed string ='xÚ3426153·°40„³'

// Uncompressing the result of ZCompressString, don't return the same:
// ZDecompressString('xÚ3426153·°40„³') 
// uncompressed string = '12345678901'

if '12345678901234567890' <> ZDecompressString(ZCompressString('12345678901234567890', zcMax)) then
  ShowMessage('Compression/Decompression fails');

functions used relate to some other compression and decompression messages

function TForm1.ZCompressString(aText: string; aCompressionLevel: TZCompressionLevel): string;
var
  strInput,
  strOutput: TStringStream;
  Zipper: TZCompressionStream;
begin
  Result:= '';
  strInput:= TStringStream.Create(aText);
  strOutput:= TStringStream.Create;
  try
    Zipper:= TZCompressionStream.Create(strOutput, aCompressionLevel);
    try
      Zipper.CopyFrom(strInput, strInput.Size);
    finally
      Zipper.Free;
    end;
    Result:= strOutput.DataString;
  finally
    strInput.Free;
    strOutput.Free;
  end;
end;

function TForm1.ZDecompressString(aText: string): string;
var
  strInput,
  strOutput: TStringStream;
  Unzipper: TZDecompressionStream;
begin
  Result:= '';
  strInput:= TStringStream.Create(aText);
  strOutput:= TStringStream.Create;
  try
    Unzipper:= TZDecompressionStream.Create(strInput);
    try
      strOutput.CopyFrom(Unzipper, Unzipper.Size);
    finally
      Unzipper.Free;
    end;
    Result:= strOutput.DataString;
  finally
    strInput.Free;
    strOutput.Free;
  end;
end;

Where was I wrong?

Does anyone else have the same problems?
