108133 - Downloading JRE 1.3 doesn't popup saveas dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87403

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Suresh Duddi (gone)]

I tried downloading JRE 1.3 from sun site. When I used ftp download, ns6.2
showed the entire contents in the window rather than poping up a saveas dialog.
I believe this is more with the application.

The url for the download was :

ftp://ftp.java.sun.com/pub/j2sdk/1.3.1/s93hdkf83r/j2re-1_3_1_01-linux-i386-rpm.bin

Bill, do you know where the problem here is ?

Dupe of bug 87403.

ftp doesn't use mimetypes, so we sniff, and its a plain text file, so its
treated as text/plain.

Note that if you have a mimetypes file set up to recognise .bin, then we'll use
that instead.

I have:

application/octet-stream        bin dms lha lzh exe class
in mine, and so the saveas dialog appears
