Due to the lack of a real standard (AFAIK ...) that doesn't use content encodings, it's hard to say what is correct. If it's decided to avoid the use of Content-Encoding (is the hash and signature problem that bad?), I'd suggest the use of the existing application/x-tgz over a new type. Regards, -Nikolas
