What you are talking about is the standard Apache config, as it has been since time bagan (or something close to that): Files ending in .tar, .tgz and .tar.gz are flagged as application/x-tar (see below) Doing an Open/Save with Konqueror: GET /distribution/ethereal-0.10.0a.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Referer: http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ Accept: text/html, image/jpeg, image/png, text/*, image/*, */* Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, x-deflate, gzip, deflate, identity Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en Host: www.ethereal.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:08:09 GMT Server: Apache Last-Modified: Sat, 13 Dec 2003 18:14:31 GMT ETag: "3b160-54c685-9cae8fc0" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 5555845 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: application/x-tar Why Browsers on Windows feel that they have to change the suffix in case they think it doesn't match the content-type is beyond me. So if you really think that is a misconfiguration, you should take it out with the Apache developers.

Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
