"corrupt" web pages saved to disk

[Brian C.]

These likely aren't actually corrupted. To save bandwidth, many 
webservers will send the HTML that makes up their pages to us with the 
contents all zipped up. We unzip the content and then show you the web 
page in OW. But if you save the file to disk, we leave the .html file 
extension (or whatever) on the file. Unfortunately, it's the zipped 
content that gets written to disk. So oftentimes, you can get at the 
html by un-zipping it...

This is something we plan to fix in a later 5.1.x release. Sorry for 
the inconvenience!

If you have any other questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate 
to contact me. When replying, please include the quoted text of this 
message. We really appreciate your help!

Sincerely,
