No matter what browser I try, the archive I get is always corrupted. Is it
usable if downloaded via CVS?

26687d67437cf0adf76e66ede7c814aa  howto.html.tar.gz
Downloaded via wget

2befb4aedc8b0cceb6159bf52f599a1d  howto.html.tar.gz
Downloaded with Mozilla

The tarball downloaded with wget works...
Interesting: gunzip of the tarball downloaded from mozilla works also.. but tar
fails..

Look at this:
-------------------------
GET /co.php/phpdoc/howto/howto.html.tar.gz HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2002 11:03:20 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) PHP/4.2.0RC2
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.0RC2
Set-Cookie: Horde=b52a1059c461b98d391a9e042875409d; path=/horde; domain=cvs.php.net

Cache-Control: max-age=60, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-gzip

..no content length is given (that could be wget..)


Now look at this (note: now with Accept-Encoding):
------------------------------
GET /co.php/phpdoc/howto/howto.html.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close

Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 37484
Content-Type: application/x-gzip

That's what mozilla recives.. And the file downloaded by mozilla is the size
given by the webserver by content-length..


Short summary:
Wget (for example) doesn't recive a Content-Length
Mozilla DOES recive a WRONG Content-Length..

buh.. buggy webserver?..

should be possible TE after comment #4

actually, it looks like the document has been compressed twice.  if you download
it and gunzip it once, then run "tar tfz howto.html.tar" and it'll work just fine.

this isn't a valid evangelism bug since the content is broken in all browsers.
please contact the owner of the project and ask them to fix their gz files.
