----------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, but the issue is not fixed. Safari still downloads a file, when I
left-click on e.g. the {{apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz}} link.
I looked at the traffic, and see that Safari sends the following:
{noformat}
GET
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz
HTTP/1.1
Host: www.apache.org
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.55.3
(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.5 Safari/534.55.3
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Referer: http://maven.apache.org/download.html
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
{noformat}
I guess the {{Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate}} is the culprit.
The webserver responds with:
{noformat}
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 6595
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Encoding: gzip
Age: 386
{noformat}
followed by the gzipped html page.
I don't know why, but for some reason Safari interprets this as something it
should download and not display in the window.

> Download links not working

> Key: MNGSITE-157
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-157
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: MacOSX 10.6, Safari 5.1.5
> Reporter: Marc Guenther
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
>
> Would it be possible to fix the download links on
> http://maven.apache.org/download.html for maven .tar.gz files?
> When I click on apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz, I get a file
> {{apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz}} which is 6591bytes long. Uncompressing from
> the Finder does not work and closer inspection reveals that this is in fact a
> gzipped html file, which points you to the list of mirrors.
> This has been confusing new users for years now. Does not seem too hard to
> fix...
