I wish to ask rhe following question: What is Arachne's behaviour
when downloading files of different types than the ones listed in mime.cfg.
While surfing today, I have reached a certain site (which I've forgotten to
add to hotlist). There were links to some files to download, mainly ".sch"
(Orcad schematics) and ".lib" (Orcad schematic libraries). The links had tis
format (generic): "http://www.someprovider.com/somedirs/afile.sch (or
afile.lib)". Instead of downloading the files to cache and asking me what to
do with them, Arachne tried to display them as if they were HTML files. I
waited patiently until all the garbage finished appearing on the screen,
then quitted Arachne and searched the cache for the files.
Also I tried for a couple of times to download the software for
ELNEC's 51&AVR flash programmer (it can be found at http://www.elnec.com, and
it consists of an autoexpandable LZH archive named pg4uarc.exe). Every time I
try, Arachne downloads about 50% of the file, then, strangely enough, tries
to display it!.
Is there a key combination or other feature, allowing the user to
simply download the target of the link which has the mouse pointer over it?
Regards
