[jira] (MNGSITE-157) Download links not working

["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-157?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=305115#comment-305115 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MNGSITE-157:
--------------------------------------

The URLs need the filename to download in it somewhere as that's how the CGI figures out what to offer links to. Changing that to a query parameter would have quite some impact across the ASF :)

It looks like this bug has been fixed in Safari 6, so I think we can close it again now. Can anyone else confirm?

> Would it be possible to fix the download links on http://maven.apache.org/download.html for maven .tar.gz files?
> When I click on apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz, I get a file {{apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz}} which is 6591bytes long. Uncompressing from the Finder does not work and closer inspection reveals that this is in fact a gzipped html file, which points you to the list of mirrors.
> This has been confusing new users for years now. Does not seem too hard to fix...
