It is rather strange

curl -I 'https://orgmode.org/worg/doc.org'
...
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

browsers should offer "save as" dialog in such case. It is possible to 
add Content-Disposition header to force "save" prompt, but I am unsure 
if it the best option. I would prefer some desktop-wide MIME handler, 
but there is not specific type for org. text/plain will be likely 
handled by browsers internally. Unsure if something like "text/x-org" is 
better since anyway custom configuration will be required.

Tim, did you face the problem with some particular file? Browsers might 
try to guess real MIME type from file content. If the problem is 
reproducible, you may experiment with "no sniff" header.
