scp to pipe

Subject: scp to pipe
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2004 05:49:56 -0400 (EDT)

How can scp write to a pipe that tar could then process?

On i386 Gentoo Linux, using bash, the following works

cat myfile.tar.gz | tar -xf

however, this does not work

scp myuser@mycomp:~/myfile.tar.gz | tar -xz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

nor does this

tar -xz < scp myuser@mycomp:~/myfile.tar.gz

I can't think of a way to tell scp to write to pipe instead of a named file. 
Any suggestions are welcome.
