As far as I know, there are no ".tgz" files served directly by
www.freebsd.org.  There may be links to ".tgz" files on
ftp.freebsd.org, but that is a completely different machine,
using ftp protocols, not HTTP with handy content-type
identification.  For ftp it is usually up to the browser to do
the Right Thing based on filename extensions.
