Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Ken]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072203

When downloading .hqx files, the file will not automatically expand. It must be
done manually. Sit files work fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare to download an hqx file.
2. When download is requested, a dialog box appears asking where to save file.
3. Save file.

Actual Results:  File must be manually expanded. Other files will post process
with Stuffit Expander.

Expected Results:  Automatically expand.

Ken, please provide an example URL. Since this works for me, the problem probably is that the 
server administrator hasn't configured the server to send .hqx files with the correct MIME type.

I've been playing around with this and apparently my Internet Config had become
corrupted. I trashed everything and reloaded it. Now everything works properly.
Sorry for the trouble. I should have checked this early on when the problem started.
