That's not the actual mechanism, as far as I understand. If the content-type is text/plain, the server will pass it through just fine.

But the net result is essentially the same. > The URL I offered earlier should have made the file available: > https://web.archive.org/web/20130501161812/http://staff.elena.aut.ac.nz/Paul-Cowpertwait/ts/cbe.dat > > ... but if there is interest in having it in the Rhelp Archive, I can attach > it. > > Would be good if someone could ask the authors about what is going on.
