Quoth Chime Hart: 'several times each week I download older
news programming from this site. Over the last week, instead of it
actually saving as an mp3, it suggests a .gz, actually in the
progress, its an m4a.gz an actual url for this mp3 is
https://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/News-April-26-1994.mp3
On my local machine if I run that through lynx, it begins playing, but
on shellworld its showing a dot gz. If I run a file command on these,
they show as normal mp3s. I suppose in the future I can backspace over
.gz'
Beginning with the latest version lynx has been saving HTML
files but adding the .gz suffix though it saves them non-gzipped. Mr

lynx sees the remote filename).'
I noted that the temporary file in /tmp/lynxXXXXlvsYpN (last 6
characters random) *is* gzipped.
lynx has to rely on the sender to gzip files, so this doesn't
happen with files from servers that don't gzip.
