Hi,

We have a developer that is making a small app for us, and publishes updates to it on our Mac web server. He is normally a PC developer (not sure if that's important), and not a web designer.

Here's the problem:
When you click the link to download the program (a .sit or .zip file), it goes to the next page and displays the program in binary in your browser. I think we've all seen that, and the solution is to right-click and choose Save file as.

Can it be coded in html (or whatever) to make your browser know to download the file vs. display it as binary in the browser?

If so, can you display what the code should look like so that we can fix this?

Thanks for any help!

No, it is a problem with the way the server is handling mime types. You have to add them to the servers list. There is a way to force downloads, but it is less than desirable and I can't remember how off the top of my head.

You should really talk to your server admin.
