Steps to reproduce

$ wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-home/12.0.14/jetty-home-12.0.14.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf jetty-home-12.0.14.tar.gz
$ export JETTY_HOME=/path/to/jetty-home-12.0.14
$ git clone https://github.com/basil/jetty-tgz-repro.git
$ export JETTY_BASE=/path/to/jetty-tgz-repro

Observe the files are identical:

$ sha256sum $JETTY_BASE/webapps/static/resources/example.tar.gz $JETTY_BASE/webapps/static/resources/example.tgz
45749065add6664e1fc7c5a75665dd9dac85f70a1444612b895b222538601a13  webapps/static/resources/example.tar.gz
45749065add6664e1fc7c5a75665dd9dac85f70a1444612b895b222538601a13  webapps/static/resources/example.tgz

Start the server:

$ $JETTY_HOME/bin/jetty.sh start

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/static/ in Firefox and download both files.

Expected results

The files should be identical.

Actual results

The files are not identical, as the .tgz file is (erroneously!) double-gzipped. The .tar.gz file is correct.

$ sha256sum example.tar.gz example.tgz 
45749065add6664e1fc7c5a75665dd9dac85f70a1444612b895b222538601a13  example.tar.gz
1ca0c922947f4426b90526f3ec5427d2123b4b6fec92e66f8b14cec792271dae  example.tgz

Note

The problem only appears when the gzip module is enabled.

The problem disappeared after I unzipped $JETTY_HOME/lib/jetty-http-12.0.14.jar, updated org/eclipse/jetty/http/mime.properties to replace tgz=application/x-gtar with tgz=application/gzip, re-packed the JAR, and relaunched Jetty.
