82698 - corrupted gzipped tar download using new download dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35956

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Harri Salokorpi]

Build ID: 2001052421

Downloading gzipped tar-files on linux results using the new download dialog 
causes the tar files to be corrupted (i.e tar complains about "gzip: stdin: 
not in gzip format"). Problem doesn't occur if downloading is done with 
shift-click.

Reproducible: always

To reproduce (on linux):
1.click on download link (= new download dialog)
2.select save to disk
3.wait until file is downloaded
4.try to unpack file

Result:
Downloaded file is corrupted. Filesize seems to be for example file about 4k 
larger than curresponding uncorrupted file.

OS: Linux Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0 on different systems. Not related to profile 
(tried to create new). I've been seeing this for a week or so. However, it 
doesn't seem to be on 0.9.1 buglist, am I only one seeing this?

Sorry for blown up layout, bugzilla helper wouldn't work for me, and I forgot
about linebreaks :(

Is this the same as Bug 35956 ?
In other words has the file been unzipped but the .gz extension left on?
Does 

tar -tvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz

give meaningful results? It does on my machine.

Ok, this is a dup. Thanks for the pointer.
