Re: [integrity] What should we hash?

Can you elaborate on the "save as" scenario?

The spec does talk about downloads. Seems to me that my browser does
undo the encodings when I download something. Say I save a text file
sent over HTTP. with Content Encoding set to gzip. It won't give me a
txt.gz file, right?

thanks
Dev
