Re: [Camino] Loading Disk Images as if text?

[Marc Respass]

Here's a follow up. I guess I was onto something though I don't know 
what. Both Camino and Safari actually *do* think my disk image is text 
which explains why they try to load it. If I option-click the link or 
right-click and Download Target..., I see that .html is appended to the 
file name. In Camino, when I get the save dialog, the file ends in 
.html. It's the actual disk image file though.

It makes me think there is something wrong with my link which looks 
exactly like this (names changed of course)

<a 
href="http://www.someplace.com/diskimages/MyDiskImage.dmg";>download</a>

Is there something I can put in an href to indicate that the file is a 
binary that should be downloaded?

Thanks
Marc

I just had a problem that I didn't think I had. I clicked the link to 
a disk image (.dmg) file and Camino attempted to load it as if it were 
a web page. Luckily, this file is "only" 1.7 MB. I just continually 
hit command-period until the page finally stopped loading but I was 
dismayed. Why would it think that a disk image is text? Why would it 
think that it's something that can be displayed? I guess I just don't 
understand mime types or something because this is truly baffling to 
me. In Mac OS 9, we had the ability to set handling for various file 
types. That's not around anymore. Anyone have any ideas why this is 
happening? It happens in Safari too but worse because Safari totally 
locks up.

I'm running Camino build 2005031608
