In the original thread on the web page I commented that clicking on the
"openafs-1.3.85-src.tar.bz2" actually causes the IE browser to download
it as "openafs-1.3.85-src.tar.tar". This is strange, but even more
strange is the fact that I can't do anything with the resulting file
like I was able to in the past.
I've seen this before on other web sites. I think that OpenAFS.org's web
site reports the MIME type of a .bz2 file to be application/x-tar or
something like that. IE renames the file based on that MIME type.
Netscape 7 on Windows sometimes does this, too.
We report the type of tar archives as application/x-tar, whether or not
they are compressed. For compressed files (tar archives or otherwise),
we report an encoding of x-compress, x-gzip, or bzip2, as appropriate.
Sorry, I'm ignorant as usual. And now that I've fired up my Windows
machine, I can't reproduce what R. Dyer's talking about. I have seen it
before, though. Maybe in Netscape 7.0 or 7.1.
Oh well,
Clark
