Description pavel 2002-06-27 15:22:57 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The extension used to save archived web pages by Konqueror is war and the file type description is "web archive". However this extension is already being used for J2EE web applications which might create some confusion. Since the archive is actually gzipped tar it might be more appropriate to call it just that - .tar.gz.

Subject: Proposal to change webarchive extension from .war to .wtz

Hi folks,

Some bug scanning brought me here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44431 
and it left me with a couple of questions.

Are there any more things to consider besides the following?

* remove kdebase/konqueror/kfmclient_war.desktop
* add kdebase/konqueror/kfmclient_wtz.desktop
* replace .war with .wtz in 
kdeaddons/konq-plugins/webarchiver/plugin_webarchiver.cpp
* replace .war with .wtz in 
kdeaddons/konq-plugins/webarchiver/x-webarchive.desktop

What does one do in this case about existing webarchives that have been 
created and have the extension .war?  Should it still be handled for a while? 
ie should the .desktop handle both .war and .wtz? Should I not delete the 
kfmclient_war.desktop yet?

Thanks,
James

Yep. There might be installations with several 1000 boxes relying on the .war extension. We 
should stay backward compatible within the 3.x series, IMHO.

I suggest to distinguish between web archive and J2EE application based on 
magic. As long as J2EE applications aren't tar-gzip as well, that shouldn't 
be too hard.

Cheers,
Waldo

Cannot the extension be more explicit, such as .konq-webarchive.tar.gz?
Will the KDE Desktop be able to recognize the longest matched regular
expression rather than the first matched??
