tgz artifacts ungzipped on download
-----------------------------------
Key: MNG-3233
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3233
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.7, 2.0.6, 2.0.5
Reporter: Steinar Bang
If a tgz artifact (in our case DLLs and shared libs for different platforms,
that accompany a JNI wrapper Java library), is dowloaded from a maven
repository on an HTTP server that sets the HTTP header "content-encoding: gzip"
on the download, the downloaded file will be ungzipped before storing it in the
local maven repository, still with the extension .tgz, and dependency:unpack
will fail when attempting to unpack the library.
This has been an upgrade blocker and have stuck us on version 2.0.4, which is
getting increasingly hard, so from our POV it's at least priority "Major".
We first encountered this problem on 2.0.5, and I unintentionally verified
today that it's present in 2.0.7.
I'm guessing it is in maven itself rather than in the maven-dependency-plugin,
which is where we see it, because the same version of the
maven-dependency-plugin works on 2.0.4, and fails on later mavens.
