It was the same issue, where a server wasn't setting the MIME type correctly. Now Moz code is sniffing the file to figure out the file type before it starts downloading anything.

Generally speaking, the file extension tends to be over 99% correct. MIME settings DO have a file extension as part of their metadata, so shouldn't it be looked at? Sort of... MIME type and file extension agree, go to town, MIME type and extension disagree, go with > extension.


Is the fix reading the file data and trying to figure it out from there?
