I have this problem with gz file when it's not tar.gz. Just now I did some
tests and added a mime type to netscape
preferences/navigator/applications:
Description: Gzip archive file
MIMIEType: application/x-gzip-compressed
Suffixes: gz
Handled By: Unknown:PromptUser
Now it downloads the sane diff file as 17KB compressed, but I have to add
the .gz suffix to the filename in the netscape dialog or rename after.
Netscape seems to insist on stripping the extension.
This is closer. Can anyone improve this?
