Subject: jka-compr.el doesn't recognise gzipped files from their magic bytes
Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:28:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9691ee20709171228i58da447dk1f035d7b23083c60@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm using an application which saves natively in .sif format, or
optionally in .sifz format, which is the same as .sif, only gzipped.

Opening a .sifz file in Emacs shows binary junk - Emacs doesn't
recognise that it's really a gzipped file, even though it does know
the 'magic' string that identifies all .gz files (see the value of
jka-compr-compression-info-list).

So shouldn't jka-compr look for the magic strings, and identify
gzipped files that way?

I notice that '.svgz', the common name for gzipped .svg vector
graphics files has been hardcoded into jka-cmpr-hook.el, rather than
adding general support for gzipped files, whatever the extension.
