It seems everything with gz extension is accepted on  /arc/

$ putarchive hotbits soap.grub.org /arcs/FooBar.gz
HTTP/1.1 200
Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:46:46 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.28 (Unix)
Connection: close

<HEAD><TITLE>OK</TITLE></HEAD><H1>Content Accepted</H1>

(hotbits file are 2048 random bytes from 
http://fourmilab.ch/hotbits/generate.html)

However, i'm unable to upload 
Balinny.XXXXdde0b5c6490a7a229ae4c7516d962933be64.arc.gz :S

The file is uploaded, i can download it and it's ok, but the server 
never answers, so the uploader stales waiting for the reply.
Behaviour is consistent with that content (which seems corrupted, like 
working only /sometimes/, i'll need to recheck that).

They aren't "Not found", but Forbidden (incidentally, it has been done 
at squid level, robots.txt is not mandatory)
