[Config?] Cannot download 1.34.1, possibly due to "bug" in file type
Hi, I just tried to download the 1.34.1 zip from Sourceforge from my behind my corporate firewall. That firewall is of the extremely zealous type and as part of its virus scan of zip files it checks that the "content of the file matches the content type". This check fails for at least one file in the boost archive, and this has the effect that I am prevented from downloading any of the zip file. Here is all the information I have about the failure:
The transferred file
"http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boost/boost_1_34_1.zip/boost_1_34..." >has been blocked by Webwasher, because the content of the file does not match the >content type "application/x-sh" and Webwasher can not correct it.
In my view there is a bug somewhere along the line (boost sources, sourceforge, my corporation's firewall software/policies) so I am posting this message here in case boost developers can help. Pete

The file in question is a perfectly valid shell script and thus matches the content type application/x-sh. I'm afraid this is a problem in Webwasher. Sebastian Redl

I'm not entirely suprised - that program has caused several problems here! Many thanks for looking at for me, Sebastian. Peter Bartlett
