subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz is not in gzip format
Hi all,
It seems that subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz downloadable from the web site is
not in gzip format. It's just an un-gzipped tar file.
subversion-1.0.3.tar.bz2 seems all right, although when I download it in
Mozilla Firefox, it is saved as subversion-2.0.3.tar.bz2. That may be a
Firefox issue, since all is fine using wget.

Thanks Jason. All taken care of:

Jason,
The above is an ongoing issue for us. Every couple weeks or so someone
either emails me privately or emails the list saying that the files
aren't really gziped. Sussman told me that they don't have access to
change this on tigris, but says that you do.
Looking at the Apache docs, we just need:
RemoveEncoding .gz
set on http://subversion.tigris.org/tarballs/
This is probably not the right thing to do anyway globally so you may
way to remove the AddEncoding or do a RemoveEncoding .gz globally.
The relevent Apache docs are at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#removeencoding
Thanks

Really the browser is just doing exactly what it was told by the server:
$ HEAD -e http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/13430/subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz \
| grep Content-
Content-Encoding: x-gzip
Content-Length: 7228750
Content-Type: application/x-tar
which means this "an application/x-tar file sent using the gzip
content-encoding". For some reason this was what Apache did by default
for ages, it was fixed recently though; it could be fixed in the
tigris.org config too. Some modern browsers know to ignore it, I guess.

Your browser or download software is cheating you. I just downloaded 1.0.3 and:
$ md5sum.exe -b subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz
1d5722a515be8f1aa6cfb779d99c6a11 *subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz
$ file subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz
subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression

That's weird, I had downloaded it with wget too and thought sure that
I... ah well. :-) Never mind, Mozilla problem, false alarm. Sorry!

I've seen Netscape/Mozilla do this in the past. It can Ungzip something
as it downloads it. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened.
