You must finish the deflate stream if you want the whole of
compressed data. Try the following code:

  require 'zlib'

  initial_string = "Tobi\n"
  defl = Deflate.new
  infl = Inflate.new

  deflated = defl.deflate(initial_string) + defl.finish
  print deflated

  restored_string = infl.inflate(deflated)
  print restored_string

or simply;

  deflated = Deflate.deflate(initial_string)
