GZ Sample File for GZ Transfer and Extraction
Exercise GZ transfer timing, extraction handoff, and larger compressed-file download behavior with real GZ fixtures of increasing size.
Recommended Starter File
| Filename | gz_sample_file_1MB.gz |
|---|---|
| Size | 1.0 MB |
| MIME | application/octet-stream |
| SHA256 | e7f43f1dbb2ce4cd1489d52861c776e5c24fc53e18e9025657f63dd3905b84b8 |
Validation Checklist
- Measure transfer and extraction behavior as GZ size increases from small controls to the 1MB file.
- Validate retry and caching behavior before adjusting GZ delivery or extraction flows.
- Check whether larger GZ files remain stable across browser downloads and CLI extraction paths.
