VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35956

People

(Reporter: BenB, Assigned: gagan)

Details

Reproduce: 1. "Save" a link (e.g. <ftp://ftp.openit.de/devel/mozilla/m17-gpg-2000-09-28.diff.gz>) to an .gz file 2. Try to unpack (gunzip) it Actual result: Error. Although the file still has the .gz extension. it is already unpacked. Expected result: File is saved as-is, i.e. in compressed format. (At the *very* least, the .gz extension has to be removed.)
I believe this is a well known bug, but it's a bad one - if i d/l what i think is a 50MB gz i might very well end up exceeding quota or diskspace, since i risk landing for instance a 100MB monster instead, only with wrong file-extention.
