Plugin list is empty : remove .gz from update center URL and plugin list populates

Work around is to go into the plugin update centers and remove the .gz from the URL's (via GUI).  Issue directly connected to internet - no http proxy.

Issue in below:
  netbeans-7.1-201112071828-ml.zip
  netbeans-trunk-nightly-201201180601-ml.zip
  several versions checked of slightly older nightly builds

Could you attach your messages.log to show what UC is empty? Thanks

Example from the nightly build:

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/dev/uc/final/main/catalog.xml.gz
= above returns an empty file - manually downloaded and verified by gunzip

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/dev/uc/final/main/catalog.xml
= above returns an XML file and the list of plugins is updated in the IDE

This has been an issue periodically for at least the last week.  Right before submitting this update to the ticket:
- download catalog.gz - unzip and looks like content is an OK XML
- update plugin list in the IDE with the .gz URL - list of plugin's is empty

I have tried totally wiping out the netbeans install directory and the ~/.netbeans and starting from scratch with the same results.  Note: using .zip application packaging / not the installer
