Description

HTTP wagon will uncompress tarballs it downloads, sometimes badly. Downloading openssl results in an unpressed download

$ mvn -X wagon:download-single -Dwagon.fromFile=openssl-0.9.8k.tar.gz -Dwagon.url=http://www.openssl.org/source -Dwagon.toDir=./
$ tar tzf openssl-0.9.8k.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
$ tar tf openssl-0.9.8k.tar.gz | more
openssl-0.9.8k/apps/
openssl-0.9.8k/apps/app_rand.c

Downloading expat results in a corrupted file

mvn -X wagon:download-single -Dwagon.fromFile=expat-1.98.8.tar.gz -Dwagon.url=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/expat -Dwagon.toDir=./
$ tar tf expat-1.98.8.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Read 1943 bytes from expat-1.98.8.tar.gz
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
