Hi Manjula,
I looked around a little about this problem and found this note:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-November/144121.html
which implies that there could be two sources for the problem;
a) One how IE handles the download, which I found this info about (it is in the
registry : <):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/networking/moniker/overview/appendix_a.asp
I had the problem with IE too, and here what was in my registry:
application/x-gzip: extension: .gz,
application/x-tar: extension: .tar,
but I did not have an
application/x-gzip-compressed.
So then I added an entry to the registry for application/x-gzip-compressed,
with an
extension of .tar.gz with no impact.
b) For apache web servers there is a configuration file called mime.types ... I
believe this
is where a certain MIME type has an extension mapped to it.
If this mapping is not correct, or at least correct in the view of IE, maybe
this is causing
the problem. I'm guessing this is not something we can change but would require
Apache infrastructure assistance.
So it might be best to just workaround the problem for now.

I trird to download the 10.2 snap shot from

downloading the tar.gz file and it is downloading
db-derby-snapshot-10.2.0.2-410284.tar.tar instead of
db-derby-snapshot-10.2.0.2-410284.tar.gz. I copied the
db-derby-snapshot-10.2.0.2-410284.tar.tar as
db-derby-snapshot-10.2.0.2-410284.tar.gz and then did gunzip, and
everything works fine.
Can anybody correct the link for tar.gz to be
db-derby-snapshot-10.2.0.2-410284.tar.gz?
note : I found this problem while I was trying to download the files
on an AIX machine.
Thanks

Hi Jean,
I used IE to download the file to my windows machine and then copy to
the AIX machine. Yes the IE has the option of changing the filename,
but I think nobody ( in general) will make an attempt to change the file
name when you are downloading a s/w like derby. Do we have any other
workaround for this issue?
Thanks
Manjula
Thanks for information you all provided. So do we have to document this
browser specific problem and the work around? or leave it as it is??
