Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Gavin Jackson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010117
BuildID:    2001011704

I use have my webserver(http) using port 1979, when I try downloading exe files,
its treated as a text file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a webserver using a port besides the 80 and try to download a exe from
that webserver.

Actual Results:  It prints out the exe as if it was a text file.

Expected Results:  It should download the exe.

Interestingly, it seems to happen on NS4.
Im not sure if its because Im using a IP address, a weird port(not 80), or its
because I specified the ":" in the address.

reporter: link is dead. please use a content type sniffer. unless your server 
returns application/octet-stream [or some other binary type] we are probably 
behaving correctly.

Q:\Files>wget http://123.456.789.100:1979/whatever.exe
--17:26:14--  http://123.456.789.100:1979/whatever.exe
           => `whatever.exe'
Connecting to 123.456.789.100:1979...
123.456.789.100: Host not found.
