Following the link on http://growl.info/downloads_developers.php to http://growl.info/files/source/Growl-1.2.1-src.tbz using Safari causes it to try to load the binary file as if it were text (into the browser window). This is not good.
I gather it's being identified (by default?) as text/plain. Probably the .tbz suffix needs to be identified by the web server as application/x-tar or application/x-bzip2 or something like that; or as a last resort, application/octet-stream. I'd guess that application/x-tar would be likeliest to cause the browser to Do The Right Thing (esp. since tar on the Mac, as well as GNU tar on Linux, can handle uncompressing automatically), and application/octet-stream would cause it to download and do nothing else. Not sure whether Safari and most other browsers would just uncompress or do something more (and possibly inappropriate) if they encountered application/x-bzip2, so I don't know that I'd want to use that without testing. Yes, people can right-click and download. But why not get it right? :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
