Caddy: tarball is gzipped twice

[ghuls]

2. What are you trying to do?

Downloading precompiled versions for linux from: https://caddyserver.com/download

I am trying to extract the tar ball.

$ tar xvzf caddy_v0.11.0_linux_386_personal.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

# The tarball is gzipped twice.
$ zcat caddy_v0.11.0_linux_386_personal.tar.gz | tar xvzf -

6. What did you expect to see?

I expect a tarball to be gzipped only once and that it contains all files in a subfolder
caddy_v0.11.0_linux_386_personal (this is the standard for all tarballs on UNIX).

Huh, weird. I've heard of this once or twice before, but it is definitely sporadic. I don't know what causes it yet... will look into it when I get a chance.

Can reproduce this on Caddy 0.11.0, Linux x64.

got the same trouble with a custom arm7 build from official build page

@mholt could you check this again ? It's happening to me today when downloading Caddy v1.0.3.
