Re: [SLUG] Downloading files with .asc extention.
This is a bug in the Apache configuration. Read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext The server has AddEncoding x-gzip .gz AddEncoding x-compress .Z AddEncoding x-bzip2 .bz2 and maybe AddType entries as well (probably via a trashy /etc/mime.types). It should have the more complex but correct: AddEncoding x-gzip .gz AddEncoding x-compress .Z AddEncoding x-bzip2 .bz2 wget -S http://www.example.com/fred.tar.gz Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip Note carefully that some browsers will now un-encode the file prior to writing it to disk (ie, fred.tar.gz will now save as the uncompressed fred.tar). You can also configure Apache so that .gz.asc and .bz2.asc are a special case prior to .asc. # PGP AddType application/pgp-signature .sig .tar.gz.asc .tar.bz2.asc ... AddDescription "PGP signature" .sig .tar.gz.asc .tar.bz2.asc ... # Text AddType text/plain .txt .asc ... AddDescription "Text document" .txt .asc ... -- Glen Turner -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

It's got something to do with Content-Encoding: x-gzip I think apache is telling the browser to accept a gzip file, then is sending an ascii file. wget -S http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/libsndfile-1.0.19.tar.gz.asc -- http://chesterton.id.au/blog/ http://barrang.com.au/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Downloading files with .asc extention.
I recall vaguely that there is a file that lists extensions and the filetypes associated with them. You could look for that and modify it.
