This bug is invalid. The server is sending the MIME type
application/octet-stream which is used for general binaries and can only be
downloaded. The server should be configured to send text/html for this file.
Perhaps the server doesn't know what to do with the non-standard .htm extension
and defaults to the binary type; you could try renaming the file to .html if you
don't have administrative control of the machine.
