Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247200

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Jaap A. Haitsma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040625 Firefox/0.9

If you click on the install now link of TB extension it will try to install the
extension in FF, which consequently fails. The user should download the
extension so Download now would be better instead of install now. With some php
code you can make sure that the file gets downloaded instead of installed. This
is the php code  I use:
----------
<?php

$completeFilePath = substr($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 1);

if ( stristr($completeFilePath, 'tp://') ) {

$fileName = basename($completeFilePath);

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: no-cache');

// C-D: attachment; ?
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\nContent-Disposition: inline;
filename=\"".$fileName."\"");

$fd=fopen($completeFilePath,'r');

fpassthru($fd);

} else {

header('Location: /');

}

?>

-----

Then you can make sure that the extension is downloaded by using the following link.

Thanks for the PHP code here, but it won't work with update.. the
update.mozilla.org server doesn't have the files on it, it redirects to the
ftp.m.o mirrors.

This bug is also a duplicate.. Marking as such.
