HTTrack is a free, open-source offline browser utility. Download sites for offline viewing: httrack.com
Issue:
HTTrack sometimes fails to decompress (unzip) downloaded pages on jankoweb, resulting in corrupted binary output instead of HTML.
Observed error:
Error when decompressing
while fetching pages that appear to be gzip-compressed.
Workaround:
In HTTrack, go to:
Set Options → Spider → Force HTTP/1.0
Why?
Forcing HTTP/1.0 disables some server-side compression/transfer behaviors that may trigger decompression failures in HTTrack.
Status:
Testing whether HTTP/1.0 prevents broken gzip responses from the server.
