Subject: downloaded files are too large or too small at times

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-5
Severity: important

I am trying to download a 50k file:

  GET /adonthell/adonthell-data_0.3.4.cvs.20050903-2.1.diff.gz HTTP/1.0
  User-Agent: w3m/0.5.1+cvs-1.968

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  Accept-Ranges: bytes
  Content-Length: 53596
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
  Content-Encoding: gzip

Unfortunately, w3m dowloads 204012 bytes instead of the 53596. Using
lftp or links or wget instead works fine.

Looks like you're getting the same problems as me, see bug 299462

Could be, but note how it's downloading 4x the filesize for me,
whereas if it stored the file with Content-Encoding, I'd expect it
smaller.

Yes, just like I do: see my comment on the bug, I'm getting the gunziped
result, not the proper original .gz file.

Woops, misread. You're right, though I cannot verify/reproduce right
now.
