Hi all,

I think I've found a bug in the Galaxy test framework :(

With most file inputs, a gzipped input file works fine (Galaxy's upload code handles unzipping it). However, with multiple="true" this seems to break (with the Twill backend, the API test framework is OK), e.g.

<param name="filenames" type="data" format="fastq,mira" multiple="true" required="true" label="Read file(s)" help="Multiple files allowed, for example paired reads can be given as two files (MIRA looks at read names to identify pairs)." />

Fails:

<param name="filenames" value="SRR639755_mito_pairs_sample.fastq.gz" ftype="fastqsanger" />

e.g. https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/pico_galaxy/builds/27426318

This works,

<param name="filenames" value="SRR639755_mito_pairs_sample.fastq" ftype="fastqsanger" />

e.g. https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/pico_galaxy/builds/27426336
