#31162 [Com]: Error on opening downloaded multi html docs

I can see the same problem on some mirrors.

Looking on Linux (wget/lynx) it saves to the correct filename but
Windows XP shows the problem as reported.

On uk2.php.net I noticed we didn't have an entry for .gz in the
mime.types file. After adding the following entry:

"application/x-gzip              gz"

then restarting apache it seems to be saving to the correct filename on
XP & Linux.

This was marked bogus by accident and is now re-opened for editing.

I've re-checked the download and found that the file downloaded from
some mirrors is actually php_manual_en.tar.tar note the *.tar.tar
extension. This file is the one that will not open. The URL is
http://uk.php.net/get/php_manual_en...z/from/a/mirror
Try downloading from  the mirror servers uk.php.net, uk2.php.net or
am.php.net to name just a few.
I have discovered that some mirrors do actually have the correct file
and I have now downloaded and extracted this with no problem. However
there are many mirrors with what appears to be the incorrect and
unusable file. Thank you for your assistance.

I cannot reproduce this.

Please check the MD5 of your downloaded copy of php_manual_en.tar.gz by
running the following:

> php -r "print md5('php_manual_en.tar.gz');"

You should have:

If this is not what you have, there's a problem between you and the Web
site, or your computer is modifying downloads. Sorry you are
experiencing this trouble.

Description:
------------
I downloaded the php_manual_en.tar.gz doc file (many html version) from
various mirrors. The file appears corrupt and I am unable to open it
with various zip file programs including winzip 8 and winrar.

The file is full size after downloading but gives an error on opening
and the contents are unavailable.

Thanks
Lawrence Deans
