epiphany-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64

1. Click on http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/gst-pulse/gst-pulse-0.9.7.tar.gz
2. Get an error from file-roller that the file isn't gzipped
3. Check the file:
$ file gst-pulse-0.9.7.tar.gz 
gst-pulse-0.9.7.tar.gz: tar archive

It should be a tar.gz file instead.
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2011-05-17 10:13:24 UTC 
This is because 0pointer.de is incorrectly configured and is sending "Content-Encoding: gzip" for that file, which means that it is claiming that "gst-pulse-0.9.7.tar.gz" is what you get *after* ungzipping the HTTP response. It should not be setting that header.

This sort of misconfiguration is common and other browsers hack around it. I just haven't gotten around to figuring out whether they do it by sniffing or by file extension or what.
