For some reason, the .tar file, is *also* compressed with gzip:

derick@whisky:/tmp $ wget -q https://pecl.php.net/get/mongo-1.6.6.tar

derick@whisky:/tmp $ file mongo-1.6.6.tar
mongo-1.6.6.tar: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix

derick@whisky:/tmp $ wget -q https://pecl.php.net/get/mongo-1.6.6.tgz

derick@whisky:/tmp $ file mongo-1.6.6.tgz
mongo-1.6.6.tgz: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix

The ".tar" variant should of course not be gzip'ed...

As a workaround, adding the "gzip" extension to PHP, should solve this.

Yes, that's actually the bug as non compressed tar (aka .tar) are not supported anymore. Not sure why it the code still get it as tar. I will check asap while gzip should be enabled.

Fixed by adding an actual error if uncompressed package is requested.

This method is not supported, we do not store the uncompressed packages and the expand of the archive was done manually. We also use X-Sendfile now which boosts the downloads response.

Also it was done carefully after checking the amount of ppl actually requesting uncompressed packages in the last 3 months, below 0.0.1%.

Sorry for the inconvenience, simply enable gzip and you should be fine.

I added a correct error message so the very few using still relying on this will get an informative error.

Thanks for your report!
