I tried to download a midi file and the quicktime plugin comes up and then text
start scrolling.  If I try to download by selecting download - save target of
link, it insists that it is an html document and tries to save as a mid.html. 
Also seen similar effects on www.koch-schmidt.de/cronnix where it insist on
downloading a .dmg file as .dmg.html.  I strongly suspect that it is a problem
of the site not setting something correctly, but I need to confirm that before I
bitch at them.  They will just tell me that it works in "internet explorer" and
indeed the download  of the midi works fine in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to download a file
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
tries to save an html file

Expected Results:  
save a .mid or a .dmg file (depending on the sites.

As I say, I suspect it is the site, but there should be some work-around so that
I can get the data down.

The site seems to require a correct referrer header....
