Content types and Firefox
Firefox recently got stricter about Content-Type:s, so it's no longer to automatically launch x64 or The Unarchiver from downloads on CSDB. Everything is sent out as application/octet-stream, and saving is the only option. Is there any chance we could get proper Content-Type:s for zip files, d64s, etc?

Hm. Might be something to spend some time on.
But it must be done right, and tested in several browsers as there have been some issues with this before.
Anyone with some experience on this field? Also how to detect the correct content-type in php. (I bet there is a better way than checking the filename? :) ) |

Works for me too.
MagerValp maybe you have something messed up with file associations on your system?

@perff: as of php v5.3.0, Fileinfo function comes built-in. Try the code below.
$filename = "path/filename.extension";
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
echo finfo_file($finfo, $filename);
finfo_close($finfo);

and btw, the proper content type for d64 _is_ "application/octet-stream" =) |

Quoting Groepazand btw, the proper content type for d64 _is_ "application/octet-stream" =)
"application/octet-stream" is just the default type of everything binary. as it doesn't define anything, newer browsers will not auto-open it (like firefox).
application/x-d64 will work perfectly fine instead, and application/x-prg too.
and for zip, use application/zip

defining content types that the OS (or the browser) doesnt know about is really pointless though. |

which is why you tell your browser to use x64 to open those types.
really, using application/octet-stream is telling the browser "you can not render this, just save the thing on disk" |
