sharing port files

Hi,

I have some port file and I set up a repository which is available  
via http protocol.
(http://cern.ch/nagyz/macports)

I added to the sources.conf the following line:

http://cern.ch/nagyz/macports/

The synchronization works fine but when I try to install something I  
get the following message:

$ sudo port -d install nlojet++
DEBUG: Found port in http://cern.ch/nagyz/macports//science/nlojet++
DEBUG: Port extract failed:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
     while executing
"darwinports::fetch_port $url"
     ("^https?$|^ftp$" arm line 2)
     invoked from within
"switch -regexp -- ${protocol} {
                         {^file$} {
                                 return $string
                         }
                         {^dports$} {
                                 return  
[darwinports::index::fetch_port $url $destdir]
                         }
         ..."
     (procedure "darwinports::getportdir" line 3)
     invoked from within
"darwinports::getportdir $porturl $portdir"
     (procedure "dportopen" line 26)
     invoked from within
"dportopen $porturl [array get options] [array get variations]"
Error: Unable to open port: Port extract failed:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

If I set up a local repository then everything is OK.
Is it possible to use http:// in the sources.conf file?

Best wishes,
Zoltan
