Marc Guenther reopened MNGSITE-157: ----------------------------------- Sorry, but the issue is not fixed. Safari still downloads a file, when I left-click on the link. I looked at the traffic, and see that Safari sends the following: {noformat} GET http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 Host: www.apache.org User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.55.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.5 Safari/534.55.3 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Referer: http://maven.apache.org/download.html Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: keep-alive Proxy-Connection: keep-alive {noformat} I guess the {{Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate}} is the culprit. The webserver responds with: {noformat} HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:16:30 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.1 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.0g Vary: Accept-Encoding Cache-Control: max-age=3600 Expires: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 14:16:30 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 6595 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Encoding: gzip Age: 386 {noformat} followed by the gzipped html page. I don't know why, but for some reason Safari interprets this as something it should download and not display in the window. > Download links not working > -------------------------- > > Key: MNGSITE-157 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-157 > Project: Maven Project Web Site > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: MacOSX 10.6, Safari 5.1.5 > Reporter: Marc Guenther > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > > Would it be possible to fix the download links on > http://maven.apache.org/download.html for maven .tar.gz files? > When I click on apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz, I get a file > {{apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz}} which is 6591bytes long.
