#498: package downloads confuse IE6 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: Platform: Windows | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- In IE6 the `.tar.gz` packages from the Hackage website get downloaded and saved by the browser with the wrong name. For example `foo-1.0.tar.gz` gets saved as `foo-1.0.tar.tar`. Currently the apache config for the hackage website is such that it send these headers for `.tar.gz` files: {{{ Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip }}} This apparently confuses IE6. This has been [http://mail- archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd- dev/200302.mbox/%3c5.2.0.9.2.20030204125407.02768620@pop3.rowe- clan.net%3e. reported elsewhere previously]. So we are looking for help in finding a workaround. We want to adjust our apache config so that for the IE6 user agent it reports a mime time and encoding that will make IE6 save the file properly. For example we guess that sending `Content-Type: application/x-gzip` and no `Content-Encoding` would make IE6 do the right thing. So how do we actually configure apache to do this? Can we get some help testing it? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/498 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
