This seems like a problem with the server: Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 13:35:24 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e Last-Modified: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 15:41:55 GMT ETag: "d11713-101a-4505f6c0" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 4122 Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip The problem is the Content-Encoding header which says that the content is transferred gzipped. HTTPClient will unpack that correctly. The real problem arises in the plugin manager which uses the filename to determine how to unpack the file. Since it still end in .gz it will try to decompress it (again) which will fail. That the server is serving this file with a Content-Encoding is wrong IMHO, but I guess it would be a good idea to make the plugin manager no longer depend on the file extension but use some heuristics to determine the file type instead. Could you please open a feature request? Andi -- splitbrain.org -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:mailinglist
