It's possible that something changed in the web.mit.edu configuration to start sending "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" for .tar.gz files where it wasn't before. (I could be misremembering whether it was doing so before.) $ curl -I 'http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/krb5/1.15/krb5-1.15.1.tar.gz' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8j Last-Modified: Fri, 03 Mar 2017 16:04:09 GMT ETag: "7f643ca-8f0f32-58b993f9" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 9375538 X-Cnection: close Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2017 17:50:18 GMT Connection: keep-alive ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
