My apache config file has some cruft like so: <IfModule mod_mime.c> # # AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers (Mosaic/X 2.1+) uncompress # information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this. # Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing # to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above. # #AddEncoding x-compress Z #AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz On Thu, Aug 23, 2001 at 06:57:59AM -0400, Mike Baptiste wrote:
Mozilla will auto uncompress files for you if given the proper MIME type. However, I believe if you right click the file and manually select 'Save Link As' it wont do the uncompression. My guess is the MIME types being ent from teh snort site and the Gnome site are different - thus Mozilla acts differently. But like a previous poster said - use lynx :) I use Mozilla as my main brower, but when I'm downloading stuff to my servers, I simply right click the link, select 'Copy location' go to an xterm and type lynx (past URL here) Of course I have to do this since I don't have X or Mozilla installed on my servers :) Mike John Sage wrote:I'm not convinced that it's *just* Mozilla, though... I've been slowly downloading bit and pieces of Gnome for another project, and all of those were downloaded through Mozilla, and all of those (that I've tar -xzvf'ed..) are gzipped when they get onto my harddrive.. I'm still wondering if it's partly a configuration issue at the new snort.sourcefire.com, in combination with Mozilla. anyway... - John Chris Adams wrote:On Saturday, August 18, 2001, at 11:21 PM, John Sage wrote:Just for the record, although I've responded to several people off-list, I was downloading snort-1.8.1-RELEASE.tar.gz using the 20010607 build of Mozilla 0.9.1, which is also what I used when I downloaded snort 1.8.1-beta4 just a couple weeks ago. So although Mozilla 0.9.1 is reporting a download size of about 1.2meg, the downloaded file on disk is 3.5meg, and is only tar'ed, and *not* gzipped... I guess something *somewhere* is "helping"...I've seen this with other browsers as well (e.g. IE, Netscape 4.x). The problem seems to stem from the transfer encoding that HTTP allows (I can configure a webserver to transparently gzip the content and send the compressed data over the network; the browser on the other end uncompresses it transparently and handles it as if it was never compressed) and over generous detection algorithms. Not unlike IE's trick of ignoring mime types in favor of its own auto-detection logic.
