This is actually not a file extraction problem; this is a design choice
of having a redirect is this particular case...
So, to allow tux to serve files even if parameters are  provided,  patch
to apply on proto_http.c is the following:

--- proto_http.c.org    Wed Nov 20 23:00:08 2002
+++ proto_http.c        Wed Nov 20 23:00:44 2002

javascript code, but the servers only gives static data)
