Marc Guenther commented on MNGSITE-157:
---------------------------------------
I just checked several other ASF projects (ant, ivy, httpd, and several others)
and none of them exhibit this behavior.
Anyway, what I wrote in my last paragraph is not a bug in Safari. It is a
problem with your site. I think the term for this is "broken by design".
I can only wonder on the mindset of a team, which puts up major hurdles for
simply downloading their software, don't fix it for years, and even now call it
a feature and leave it at that.
I hear that maven has a reputation of making easy things complicated. I wonder
where that comes from...
> Download links not working

> Key: MNGSITE-157
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-157
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Marc Guenther
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy

> Would it be possible to fix the download links on
> http://maven.apache.org/download.html for maven .tar.gz files?
> When I click on apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz, I get a file
> {{apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.tar.gz}} which is 6591bytes long. Uncompressing from
> the Finder does not work and closer inspection reveals that this is in fact a
> gzipped html file, which points you to the list of mirrors.
> This has been confusing new users for years now. Does not seem too hard to
> fix...
