When I try to download the windows exe, I get it sent to me as plain text.

Hmm, looks like the mime-type is set to application/x-msdownload.  Not sure what it should be though.

Comment 2

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

should be application/octet-stream. fixing now.

Comment 3

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

just checked in r51152 with application/octet-stream in the download method, but I don't have a windows machine handy at the moment to verify

Attachment: repacks.php w/corrected .exe MIME type

The application (possibly legacy code from XPI-buddy) overrides the server MIME type. As a result, byob2/application/controllers/repacks.php needs to be modified to ensure the correct MIME-type is sent to the client. Patch attached that changes the MIME type the application will send.
