tar.gz changing to tar.tar during download.
Hello, When ever I try to download a tar.gz file from my Zope site, the extention changes to tar.tar. Why is this happening? Does anyone know how I can I fix it? The workaround for this is to rename the file back to xxx.tar.gz after it downloads. Thanks Louis

Probably because whatever browser you use thinks it knows best and really doesn't. Likely somebody in the chain has MIME-types screwed up. More than that I can't say without more information. --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
What is the content type of your .tar.gz File object? Should be something like "application/x-gzip" or "application/x-gzip-compressed". Which browser? IE has a tradition of deliberately screwing up the download filenames. Stefan --On Montag, 24. November 2003 11:49 -0800 Louis MacCubbin <Louis.MacCubbin@veritas.com> wrote:
