New issue 5772 by john.waffles: tar.gz files are uncompressed during download, and result in a file with extension .tar.gz.tar http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5772 Chrome Version : 1.0.154.36 URLs (if applicable) : Other browsers tested: Safari 3: Not tested Firefox 3: OK IE 7: FAIL (subtly different: IE didn't uncompress the file, but did save it with a .tar.tar extension instead of the correct .tar.gz) What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Find a .tar.gz file for download somewhere (e.g., http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html_node.tar.gz) 2. Click the link to download the file, or right-click and 'Save link as...' What is the expected result? File should be downloaded with its original .tar.gz extension, without any extra processing (ie, it should still *be* a .tar.gz file) What happens instead? File is downloaded with a .tar.gz.tar extension (if using the 'Save link as...' route, the default filename has this extension), and is the gunzipped tar file not the original compressed file as sent by the server. Other info: I tried it in Firefox using the Live HTTP Headers extension. In the example URL above, the server is specifying Content-Type as application/x- tar and Content-Encoding as gzip, so arguably IE and Chrome are correct. However from my point of view as a user, it's not the result I expect or want. Also, this has occurred with downloads of .tar.gz files from several different websites, which would indicate that either most servers are set up to give those headers, or that there's a deeper problem. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
