7 years ago The ZipFile documentation shows a link to the PKZip Application Node. This link, with address "https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT" goes to a "Page Not Found" document.

7 years ago The Applicaton Note link in both the doc and here work for me with Firefox and Edge. ''' \<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

I think that HTML output suggests that their server configuration is broken. If you look at further down the page there is this error message:
<p>Something has triggered missing webpage on your
website. This is the default 404 error page for
<strong>nginx</strong> that is distributed with
EPEL. It is located
<tt>/usr/share/nginx/html/404.html</tt></p>And:
$ curl -I https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...https://support.pkware.com/display/PKZIP/Application+Note+Archives might be a suitable alternative to the broken link. I'm adding Serhiy to nosy list since he knows a lot about the ZIP file format.

7 years ago https://support.pkware.com/display/PKZIP/Application+Note+Archives contains links to old versions of APPNOTE (the last is 6.3.3). But the actual version was at least 6.3.4 (I have a local copy).
All external links refer to http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT. I think we should report a bug to PKWare.
