Description

Since we updated from ivy 2.1 to 2.3 *.tgz files downloaded with a artifact url
<artifact name="hello" conf="common" type="pkg" ext="tgz" url="http://server.xxx/ivy/hello.tgz"/>

get uncompressed during the download, breaking the later handling of those files.
I don't know if this is a setup issue of our http server, but I don't experience the ivy behavior in other tools. When I use wget for example (or a browser, or...) the file gets downloaded just fine.
Would it be at least possibly not to perform this automatic uncompression with an attribute in the artifact? Or a global configuration property.

Output for a wget --save-headers (which saves the file correctly, does not uncompress)
