Reporter: Have you assigned application/octet stream to an application in edit\preferences\Navigator\helper apps ?

I have NOT changed the "application/octet stream" setting and it has defaulted to: Description: Application Extension: .exe When Encountered: Save file to disk So, I also noticed an "application/x-zip-compressed" setting which IS set to WinZIP. Why would the MIME type NOT be "application/x-zip-compressed" since I'm downloading a .zip file? Peace......

default= no entry for application/octet-stream and please remove that entry. >Why would the MIME type NOT be "application/x-zip-compressed" since I'm >downloading a .zip file? Because the server sends application/octet-stream for this .zip file. Ask the server admin why he does that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 189598 ***

Is it possible for a PHP download script to determine what MIME type a file is _before_ Apache sends the HTTP headers?

> default= no entry for application/octet-stream and please remove that entry. That did the trick... I don't know how that default entry got created since I've never touched those settings. Thanks! Peace....

I don't know PHP but i know that the server sends "application/octet-stream" as header for this .zip. open http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/ , enter a .zip URL from that page and see the content-type
