Comment #17 on issue 29354 by [email protected]: Starting earth download eats all your RAM http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29354
http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin is the actual URL. The first few bytes are: #!/bin/sh # This script was generated using Makeself 2.1.5 CRCsum="1975106205" MD5="4ef240d99e1609cbbceb10d0738e69ab" TMPROOT=${TMPDIR:=/tmp} label="Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.1.3533.1731" script="./setup.sh" scriptargs="" targetdir="GoogleEarthLinuxPlus-5.1.3533.1731-installer" filesizes="25980645" keep=n print_cmd_arg="" if type printf > /dev/null; then print_cmd="printf" elif test -x /usr/ucb/echo; then print_cmd="/usr/ucb/echo" else print_cmd="echo" fi which means it turns out at 'text' in the 'text or binary' check. Comments in the code that at least some versions of Firefox fail to detect XHTML served up as "application/octet-stream" by IIS 4/5 - they treat it as a download - so I don't think we want to match Firefox _too_ closely. I'm not sure how exactly to check if that is true on modern Firefoxes -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
