wrong md5sum and gzip format

Asked by Researcher2017 on 2017-02-16

Hi,

* .gz files on "http://www.measurement-factory.com/tmp/ecap/" are not in a gzip compressed format (are not compressed). Also all md5sum are wrong!

Best Regards,
CG

Do not panic! They are compressed and checksums are correct, but your browser is trying to be helpful and is decompressing them for you.

$ wget http://www.measurement-factory.com/tmp/ecap/checksums
$ wget http://www.measurement-factory.com/tmp/ecap/ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz

$ file ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz
ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, ...

$ gunzip -vt ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz
ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz: OK

$ md5sum ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz
2647c1125c69bd83d66f56bee56a9a68 ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz

$ fgrep ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz checksums
MD5 (ecap_clamav_adapter-2.0.0.tar.gz) = 2647c1125c69bd83d66f56bee56a9a68

Thanks a lot! Not used to use Chrome. Firefox doesn't operate like that...
