I'm sorry to confuse you and the delay in my reply.
I wanted to report 2 unexpected behaviors in downloading file.
1. Lynx saves the transmission stream data (gzipped data) when the content is
served with a "Content-Encoding: gzip" header.
2. Lynx adds the file extention "gzip" in some cases and doesn't add any file
extention in other cases in the situation same as 1.
So I think Thorsten wrote the same problem as 1.
