tar.gz files decompressed when downloading

[wmtprojectsforum]

Hi,

I've noticed recently that .tar.gz files are decompressed when downloading, which is undesirable for our use case. Is it possible to have this changed using the instructions at:

https://serverfault.com/questions/91...alls-still-nam

I don't have access to Apache configuration as far as I know, but I would appreciate it if someone could change this for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, i can't reproduce the issue: i can download this file "as is".

Could you please provide an example?

Bye!

See this file as an example. It retains the extension, but the downloaded file is actually only a tar archive now - the gzip compression has been removed.

Wasn't the original file like that? Can you check it please?

Bye!

I have double checked and can confirm that when downloaded over FTP, the file is gzip compressed and ~600 KB in size instead of 2.8 MB.

Did you try to add the code in the .htaccess file?

AddEncoding x-identity .tar.gz .gz .tgz

Bye!

I didn't realise that was meant to go in .htaccess. Doh! It's working now though, thanks.
