87781 - Corrupted tarball (.tar.gz) file when downloading with Mozilla 0.9.1

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 35956

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Herve FOUCHER]

Enter http://www.helio.org/oko.tar.gz in the location bar. Mozilla proposes to 
either "Use default action for this type of file" (checked by default) or to 
"Use a different action for this file".
Choose "Save this file to Disk" option. Choose a file name and save to the disk. 
The download process works fine but the file is corrupted. You can't open the 
archive using winzip. It works fine with Netscape Navigator 4.x.

The "file" command gives the following information:
C:\>file oko.tar.gz
C:\oko.tar.gz:       ASCII text with control characters
