Hello, I am not sure how to correct this problem, but I have noticed a lot of web sites with gzip files no longer allow right clicking on them, then selecting 'Save link As...'. I get 'Error opening xyz.tar.gz: Permission denied'. This is a recent occurence with SuSE 7.1 and Netscape 4.9 but I also have seen it with other versions of SuSE and Netscape. On some of the links when I left click on the link, then Netscape downloads the file into /tmp and then immediately deletes it, with no output anywhere. If the download is large enough I usually have enough time to make a hard link to the temporary file in /tmp so that when Netscape nukes the file after the download is done I still have a copy. However on smaller files that take only a few seconds to download this is not an option. On other links when I left click on the link, Netscape downloads the file then thinks about it for a second or two. Then up pops a Netscape window stating that '/tmp/xyz.tar not in gzip format'. I have gone through the Netscape -> Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Applications looking for any mime definition for .gz. But none show up. I even added my own Application to 'Save to Disk' and 'Unknown:PromptUser' when .gz files are passed in. No Luck. Sometimes I am able to view the page source and then ftp to the server listed in the Html where the gzip file is, and download it that way. Other times I am able to telnet on port 80 to the server and issue a Html get command to acquire the source code. Sadly sometimes the html page source indicates I need to use a 'Frames Capable' browser to see the source of the page. However these are very arcane ways to download source files, reminds me of the early days of the Internet before MS. Does anyone know what I am obviously doing wrong. Or how to set up an application handler in Netscape to make it PromptUser when a hyperlink '.gz' file is pulled in?? Thanx, jpg
