Archived (.tgz) files aren't downloading properly from blob

Description

I archived my data (.tgz) on server-1, and uploaded to the container as blob.

$ az storage blob upload -f file_name.tgz -c container_name -n file_name.tgz --account-name account_name --account-key account_key

Zipping and Unzipping working fine with server-1,

$ file -s file_name.tgz 
file_name.tgz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Sep 18 13:44:22 2017

On server1: Original file size is 31M Archived file size is 7.79M I check the blob size from UI it was 7.79M Tried to download archive file on local machine from UI, the downloaded archive’s size was 32.4M.

Then, I downloaded the file to server-2 as,

$ az storage blob download -c container_name -f /home/username/file_name.tgz -n file_name.tgz --account-name account_name --account-key account_key

** .tgz file gets downloaded [Bigger files showing me “Received response with content” as output] I tried doing unzipping the file as

$ tar xzvf file_name.tgz
 
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Bigger files when downloaded, giving me output as

Received response with content

Also, tried ‘dtrx’ utility to unzip the file. This gets recover but very less data is there in the folder.

Just for reference for others with same issue, I still got this download problem with 2.0.18 cli version with a file uploaded with previous versions. I reuploaded the file using the 2.0.18 and download problem has gone away.

Faced the same issue, but works properly in 2.0.18
