Details

1) Go to the indicated page [Common Lisp the Language ] 2) Select the "HTML Version" link, RIGHTMOUSE, "Save Link As . . ." EXPECTED: Save the file as an unknown binary type OR save into WinZip, which supposedly knows about .tgz OBSERVED: Offers to save the file as "cltl-ht.tgz.txt", a text file ALSO: If I simply LEFTMOUSE on the link the file is "displayed." Not very pretty.
The file linked is sent with a text/plain mimetype and therefore bug 120327 kicks in.
120327 it is. And the server is misconfigured. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120327 ***
