Re: [Bug-wget] nettle-3.4.tar.gz isn't actually compressed

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi Thomas,

sorry, I lost focus on this issue while waiting for more examples.

Just pushed a commit which excludes .gz and .tgz files from automatic
decompression.
BTW, the only example we so far is
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.3.tar.gz. And that
server ignores 'Accept-Encoding: identity' in a way that it sends data
with Content-Type: x-gzip.
You'll see that with --compression=none.
What I want to say: that server seems to be misconfigured (nginx 1.6.2)


With Best Regards, Tim

I can't reproduce that issue
