for me:

This one works:

c: wget http://www.php.net/dochowto
f: howto.html.tar.gz?p=1
s: 39,984

This one doesn't work as the ?p=1 is required.  The link
on about.howtohelp.php needs an update:

c: wget http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpdoc/howto/howto.html.tar.gz
f: howto.html.tar.gz
s: 21,285

But this works as it's what the first points to:

c: wget http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpdoc/howto/howto.html.tar.gz?p=1
f: howto.html.tar.gz?p=1
s: 39,984

Anyway, and doing this works for me:

tar xfvz howto.html.tar.gz?p=1

Which creates howto/ dir with howto files.  

I don't know the specifics but iirc some browsers don't deal 
with this very well.  And there are different ways to untar/gunzip 
files depending on shell and os. But I don't have any good answers 
on the subject :)

Regards,
Philip
