Download file, decompress and keep in memory

I have an endpoint that serves a gzipped .tsv file.
I want to download the file, decompress it and work on the data, without saving it on disk, keeping everything in memory.

Tried -

        HttpClient _client = new HttpClient(
        new HttpClientHandler()
        {
            AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate
        });

        var data = await _client.GetStringAsync(url + fileName);

        HttpClient _client = new HttpClient(
        new HttpClientHandler()
        {
            AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate
        });

        var data = await _client.GetStringAsync(url + fileName);

        HttpClient _client = new HttpClient(
        new HttpClientHandler()
        {
            AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate
        });

        var data = await _client.GetStringAsync(url + fileName);

        HttpClient _client = new HttpClient(
        new HttpClientHandler()
        {
            AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate
        });

        var data = await _client.GetStringAsync(url + fileName);

Which eventually contains gibberish so I'll guess the decompression doesn't work? any ideas?

If I download the file manually and extract it I get a folder with the .tsv file in it. maybe my issue is that I'm trying to read the string value of the folder and not its content?
Iv'e tried removing the AutoDecompression configuration and it seems to have the same result.

Thanks!
