"Karl Dubost" <karl@w3.org> > CUAP http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/NOTE-cuap-20030128 In 3.1 it says: | Content-Type: application/postscript; qs=0.001 | Content-Encoding: gzip | | If saved locally, the filename on most computers should be | html40.ps.gz for the applications to recognize the file type. What is the motivation for this, IMO, the UA should save it as a non gzip-encoded .ps document, content-encoding should remain at the HTTP level, so the user can use the same application that they use to view the HTTP loaded document as the file loaded document. A user is likely to be confused if they open a URI (say http://www.example.org/stuff.html ) with content-type: text/html and content-encoding: gzip, in their HTML UA, they then save it locally and they can no-longer use their HTML UA to open it. [ The note is otherwise very good, and I congratulate and thank the authors ] Jim.
