jdbc download jar is corrupted

From
Ray Tomlinson
Date:
 http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/jdbc7.1-1.2.jar has bad format.
Neither winzip nor jar can read the contents. Jar throws an
IllegalArgumentException and winzip says: error [C:/jdbc7_1-1_2.jar]:
start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt. Possible cause:
file transfer error.

C:\>jar -tf *.jar
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

(Some versions of) Netscape are notorious JAR killers... might be this, I
often provide a .tgz bundle also after getting a lot of people saying my
downloadable files are corrupt ;)

Re: jdbc download jar is corrupted

From
Ray Tomlinson
Date:
Further investigation reveals that the web server at the download site
(jdbc.postgresql.org) is specifying a content-type of text/plain rather than
application/octet which is the usual mime-type for generic binary data.
Netscape is being too helpful and expanding all those mal-formed end-of-line
sequences into correctly formed ones.

A simple .htaccess line would fix the problem at the web server.

Hmmm... I downloaded again using internet explorer and, as much as I hate to
admit it, the file is ok. I re-downloaded with netscape and it's not ok.
Netscape seems to believe that the file is text/plain so it probably tosses or
adds some characters.
