#21423 [Ana]: One of the mirrors for 4.3.0 appears to be faulty

ID: 21423 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: silicon@bigpond.net.au Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows ME PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: As Sander pointed out, the server is not sending the proper HTTP headers. So the mirror setup should be corrected... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 09:33:08] sander@php.net $ curl -I http://www.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.0.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 200 OK (...) Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip $ curl -I http://au2.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.0.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 200 OK (...) Content-Type: application/x-tar That's the cause of the problem. Some browsers 'fix' the extension using the supplied Content-Type. It should be either application/x-gzip or application/octet-stream, which is always safe, or it should provide a Content-Encoding header. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 09:04:33] toni.viemero@iki.fi I bet this "bug" is because Windows browsers like to change the file-extension. (Using Phoenix 0.5 in Windows results in .tar.gz.tar (in every site I can remember)). The server itself is serving the files ok.

Hope it gets fixed soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 07:08:08] goba@php.net Yes, you are right. I am going to contact the maintainer, and point him to thig bugreport.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 07:05:37] silicon@bigpond.net.au Well, here is the direct link to the file in question. http://www.php.net/do_download.php?mr=http%3A%2F%2Fau2.php.net%2F&df=php-4.3.0.tar.gz That link leads to the .tar.tar file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
