The favor is all mine, you're the one helping me.

Output from original file, which opens fine:

enduser at nuwen:~/Documents/ArchivedWeb$

ls -l testfile.war
-rw-r--r-- 1 enduser enduser 170105 2010-02-06 17:35 testfile.war

md5sum testfile.war
44133f01640d63a4ec7b1b0ad47a0bf3  testfile.war

testfile.war
enduser at nuwen:~/Documents/ArchivedWeb$ file testfile.war
testfile.war: gzip compressed data, was "", from Unix, last modified: Sat Feb  6 17:35:12 2010

Copied file output. File refuses to open with error message "There appears
to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with
application/x-webarchive, but it cannot handle this file type."

enduser at nuwen:/media/sdb2/Backup_sdb2/Documents/ArchivedWeb$

ls -l testfile.war
-rw-r--r-- 1 enduser enduser 170105 2010-02-06 17:35 testfile.war

md5sum testfile.war
44133f01640d63a4ec7b1b0ad47a0bf3  testfile.war

file testfile.war

Md5 came out the same, so that appears to be ruled out. It looks to me
like I own the file and have full permissions.

Both. I've also tried right clicking on the file and using the Copy To
dialog.

I also tried copying the file and pasting it to my desktop. It opened fine.

No spaces.

Not sure if I understand the question. I burned the Documents folder to
CD using K3b. Everything worked, except for the war files. Same deal with
second internal hard drive. Which is formatted with ext3, by the way.

Trying that now...

Konqueror says the executable bit was not set. So I tried setting it as
executable. No change, still won't open.

I wonder if anyone reading this running 8.04 / KDE 3.x would see if they
can reproduce the problem?
