Bug #18207 Updated: .tar.bz2..bz2

ID: 18207 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: thochgreve@php-resource.de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: win98se PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Not a bug in PHP -> bogus Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-08 06:05:15] goba@php.net This is a known bug on Win98. If you download any file with an extension unkown to the system (no program connected to the extension), it adds this weird thing to the filename... The solution is client-side: you need to conect a program to the .bz2 extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 09:31:36] tal@php.net Most certainly an IE bug, bogusfying. -Tal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 07:54:02] thochgreve@php-resource.de I just downloaded php_manual_de.tar.bz2 via IE5.0 (version 5.00.2614.3500) and receive a file named php_manual_de.tar.bz2..bz2 installed bz2 support to wincommander when extracting the file, i get php_manual_de.tar.bz2., wincmd sees this as an erraneous bz2 archive, but it´s really a tar. The file is named correctly when downloaded via NN or Opera 6.01 fine, but with IE any .bz2 I download extends to ".bz2..bz2". Only workarounds I know are either to rename the downloaded file to .bz2 or strip the ".bz2." from the extracted file. This bug is definitely NOT YOUR FAULT, but you may add a note on this to the doc downloads page; maybe find out what version of IE on which OSes contain this bug.
