Download 9204 DB for Linux: "not in gzip format

as anybody else noticed problems after downloading the new 9204 drop of the Linux DB files?
The checksums are different from what is reported on the download page, and from the content it seems there is some "garbage" at the top of the gz files?

Ok, i found the problem.
Although the files have the .gz extension, they are actually not gzipped. They are regular cpio archived (not compressed).

  • Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Download Disk 1 Is NOT in gzip Format

    Hi,
    I tried to download twice Oracle 9.0.1 Linux on my Windows first, then tranfer to my Linux machine. All the other disks (gz files) are transfered and uncompressed into cpio files, expect Disk 1, Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz.
    I checked Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz first using WinZip on Windows, then gunzip on Linux. The problem is the same: Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz is not in gzip format.
    Since all the other Disks (.cpio.gz files) works fine, my suspicion is that Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz is corrupted on the server. Has anyone in Oracle really tested the download recently?
    Of cause next monday I will check direct download to my Linux machine at work.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I reported that Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Download Disk 1 does not work if I first download it to Windows. My colleague downloaded it to a Linux machine, and it can be unzipped.
    So only one disk file can only be directly downloaded to Linux.

  • Difficulty Downloading CF 7 for linux

    I have been trying to download CF 7 for linux (developer
    edition) for the last few days but am having no luck. If I use
    Firefox it appears to be downloading successfully but once it gets
    to 100% it then pops up an error message (my apologies I don't have
    the exact wording - I don't really want to download the 280MB again
    to see it :))
    I have also tried in Internet Explorer but IE stops
    responding when I choose the version from the dropdown list and
    press the download button.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any other ways to
    obtain the file, such as FTP?
    Thanks,
    Andrew.

    Actually I now have the answer - I was trying to download it
    in the windows (because I didn't have X installed on my linux
    server).
    I suspect it might not have recognised the file type as
    binary or something?
    I've Installed X on my server and have downloaded in
    successfully now..

  • Where can I download Tuxedo 10gR3 for Linux ?

    As stated above I'm trying to download Tuxedo 10gR3 for Linux but can only find the latest supported versions. Any idea where I can get a copy ?
    Chris

    Hi  Chris,
    I believe for older versions of Tuxedo you need to contact Oracle via My Oracle Support (MOS) and request the kit.  You will need to let them know what word size you need, i.e., 32 bit or 64 bit.

  • Problems downloading Oracle 8i for Linux

    I'm having troubles in downloading Oracle 8i for Linux (Red Hat 6.2).
    I'm using GetRight for the 280 MB of the download. It get connected and logged , but when it try to retrieve the file, no response from the server. It seems as a lack of capacity of the ftp server.
    Does anybody know if there is a mirror site of Oracle? Or any other solution?

  • Download Oracle EE for Linux

    I am trying to download Oracle EE for Linux and I am getting only 3MB file. I guess it supposed to be 168 MB. Anybody is having any suggestion?. Appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    The only solution that works for me anymore is wget. I start by trying to download it through Netscape in order to get the URL for the download and then use wget. It includes arguments to specify a user ID and password so that Oracle's server can authenticate you and it has the capability of resuming a download if it gets interrupted. Otherwise, buy a CD pack from the Oracle store. It only costs about $50 and includes a lot more than you can download.

  • Not in GZIP format error while trying to unzip the file

    I'm using GZIPInputStream in order to read data from zipped file.
    It worked perfectly from command line. I have to execute the same code from crontab and it gave me the exception:
    java.io.IOException: Not in GZIP format
    It tries to check the GZIP_MAGIC number and for some reason failed.
    The stack trace I'm getting points to GZIPInputStream constructor.
    GZIPInputStream input = new GZIPInputStream( new FileInputStream( fileName));
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Arnold

    This may be a little late for you, but I am having the same problem. I am using an encryption package as well. I created input and output streams to wrap my encryption package. (javax.?? has something similar)
    Anyway, my algorithm goes: data -> gzip -> encrypt --------- ->decrypt -> gzip ->data
    If I used encryption without the gzip everything works fine, and if I use gzip without the encryption it works fine as well. But if I use them in conjuction, bad thing happen.
    I copied versions of the GZIPInput and output stream classes from java.util.zip and made my own so I could put in debug code. Then I saw what was happening. GZIP writes a header of 8b1f. It does this by writing a first to 1f as a byte (this is 31 in decimal) and then the 8b (this is 139 unsigned byte or -117 signed byte).
    My debug code shows that it writes 31,-117 to the stream, but reads 31,139 when I don't use encryption and 31,-117 when I do. Another strange thing about this, though, is that everywhere I have debug code, this is the only byte that prints out unsigned in my debug messages... When encryption is turned on this same debug message prints -117.
    I have no idea why this is happening. To test things some more, I changed my copy of the gzipinputstream to compare this header value with the GZIP_MAGIC number (35615) and with -29921. Now everything works perfectly. There has to be a better solution for this, but I don't know what it is yet.
    GZIP_MAGIC is 8b1f sent as two bytes 1f and then 8b, and then shifting the 8b.
    -117, using the Integer.toString(-117,16), gives a hex of -75. Using the same methodology as above, we can get -751f which is -29921.
    The header check is essentially:
    if ((int)readUByte(in) << 8) | (int)readUByte(in) != GZIP_MAGIC)
    your screwed
    So change this store the value in a variable and compare it to GZIP_MAGIC and -29921 and your problem will disappear.
    I am not sure what they were thinking. readUByte is a simple read. There is nothing unsigned about it. There is probably some casting somewhere along here that is causing the error, but nothing I am doing seem incorrect.
    Hope this helps. Actually, I hope you have solved your problem by now, but if not,... If you have any insights, I would appreciate hearing them.

  • Not in GZip Format Exception

  • Not in GZIP format problem

    I am experiencing the following IOException when using the GZIPInputStream:
        java.io.IOException: Not in GZIP format
            at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.readHeader(GZIPInputStream.java:131)
            at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.<init>(GZIPInputStream.java:58)
            at java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream.<init>(GZIPInputStream.java:68)
            ...I am trying to read an Entity Body from an HTTP response that has been compressed using GZIP compression. I read in chunks of 4K bytes, but my first read always ends at the Entity Body (this is not a problem of course, but I thought it was a bit odd). However, this my first read of an InputStream always gives me the following:
    Status-Line
    Headers
    CRLF
    So, the next read would return me the first byte of the Entity Body. By investigating the supplied Headers I discovered that GZIP compression is used. Therefore, I create a GZIPInputStream with the original InputStream as parameter. But when I start reading from the GZIPInputStream I get the mentioned exception.
    Looking into the GZIPInputStream it seems to have a problem with the GZIP header magic number (0x8b1f). This magic number consists of two bytes. I thought it would be nice to try the following, just to see what happend:
        byte[] gzipHeader = new byte[2];
        inputStream.read(gzipHeader, 0, gzipHeader.length);
        GZIPInputStream gzipInputStream =
            new GZIPInputStream(
                new SequenceInputStream(
                    new ByteArrayInputStream(gzipHeader), inputStream));
        ...And guess what? This seems to solve my problem, however I would not consider this to be a nice fix. Looking to see what is in the byte array, I discovered the following: 0x1f8b. I found the following snippet of code in GZIPInputStream:
        private int readUShort(InputStream in) throws IOException {
            int b = readUByte(in);
            return ((int)readUByte(in) << 8) | b;
        }This method is used to read in the GZIP header magic number. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but reading the bytes 0x1f8b results in the desired 0x8b1f. Therefore my little test mentioned earlier works, but why doesn't the following work:
        GZipInputStream gzipInputStream = new GZIPInputStream(inputStream);
        ....Can anybody help me with this?
    Jack...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip
    Other uses
    The �Content-Encoding� header in HTTP/1.1 allows clients to optionally receive compressed HTTP responses and (less commonly) to send compressed requests. The standard itself specifies two compression methods: �gzip� (RFC 1952; the content wrapped in a gzip stream) and �deflate� (RFC 1950; the content wrapped in a zlib-formatted stream). Compressed responses are supported by many HTTP client libraries, almost all modern browsers and both of the major HTTP server platforms, Apache and Microsoft IIS. Many server implementations, however, incorrectly implement the protocol by using the raw DEFLATE stream format (RFC 1951) instead. The bug is sufficiently pervasive that most modern browsers will accept both RFC 1951 and RFC 1950-formatted data for the �deflate� compressed method.

  • Getting  "IOException Not in Gzip format "

    Hi,
    I am getting this *"IOException Not in GZip format "* while Uncompresing.
    I have checked the data. It's already in gzip format (compressed).

                        HTMLCompress[i] = b[total--];
                String htmlstr = new String();
                if(HTMLCompress.length > 0) {

    The exception is clear : IOException Not in GZip format
    So check what contains really the variable 'b'.
    Then what does the first loop ???
    instead of
            for( int total = b.length-1 , i = contentlength-1 ; i >= 0 ; i-- ){
                HTMLCompress[i] = b[total--];
            }Try this :
            for (int i=0; i<b.length; i++) {
                HTMLCompress[i] = b;
    or System.arraycopy(b, 0, HTMLCompress, 0, contentlength);
    I repeat, probably b buffer doesn't containt gzip format. Check you stuff before sample code you posted.
