I just ran across this again. What is the best content type to specify for .dmg files?
Firefox keeps telling me they're binary files and saves them in such a way that their default application is Hexedit instead of Disk Image Mounter. I used a System Prefpane which allows me to specify something else to get around it. For whatever reason, i haven't had trouble with them in Camino recently.

How the file is treated by Camino will depend on what the webserver at www.someplace.com will tell Camino that the file is using the content type. In your case the webserver probably doesn't know what a .dmg file is and decides to tell Camino a text/html file is coming over. This causes Camino (and Safari) to try to render it as html. You'll get a download thing if the server would tell Camino that the dmg file is some sort of format Camino knows it should download. I think the default action on unknown content types is to download it also.
I think that your problem is not in Camino or Safari, but on the host you are putting the .dmg file. That host should configure their webserver not to treat those files as text/html. What mime type it should use, I don't know exactly.
