When send a file via HTTP the WWW-server appends a MIME file type to the file
being sent. If the WWW-server is not configured apropriately (e.g. the
WWW-server says it is an ASCII-file but is actually a gzip:ed file) you might
get this kind of problem.
The borowser uses the MIME types when deciding what to do with the file, and if
you have configured the helper applications wrongly you might also get this kind
of problem.

I was doing object-oriented assembly when I was 1 year old...
For some reason my mom insists on calling it "Playing with blocks"
