=================== BUG #1100: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: benja Project: Savannah
Submitted on: 2002-Aug-29 18:21
Category: Download area Severity: 3 - Ordinary
Priority: Low Bug Group: None
Resolution: Later Assigned to: yeupou
Status: Open Effort: 0.00
Summary: JAR files served as text/plain
Original Submission: Hi,
our project has a JAR (java archive) file for download at:
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/gzz/alpha.pkg/0.8alpha1/
The file is gzz-0.8alpha1.jar. It is served as text/plain; this means that in
most browsers, left-clicking the link on the page above will show the archive
as plain text, meaning that less experienced users will not be able to download
it.
Please fix this; the correct MIME type seems to be
"application/x-java-archive", at least according to this page:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/docs/downloadservletguide.html
(Note that the most important thing probably isn't even that the MIME type be
"correct," just that it not be one that standard browsers will display, instead
of allowing users to download the file to a local disk.)
Thanks,
- Benja

This bug is not very severe at the moment: The person doing the release
management in our group has changed the Apache configuration for our download
area so that the jar above is now served with the correct media type. Still,
fixing this site-wide may be helpful for other Java-based projects.
