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 On Sun, 24 Nov 2002, Roy Huggins wrote: > Hola > > The file download from the URL > > http://php.net/dochowto > > does not appear to be properly archived.
