In my current project I incorporate a check for updates and the

I used a small text file. Now I've posted the actual file in zip

correct size. When I download through my app the file is received
but is seen as a text file and not a zip file. Changing the opening
app in 'Get info' fixes it (shows correct icon and double clicking
will decompress). Otherwise it just opens in 'TextEdit'. The file
does have it's '.zip' extension. I am not explicitly defining
encodings for the download - do I need to do this? Anybody know of
a way to get the download to come in properly?
I'm using RB2005r2 and OSX 10.4.7
I don't know where the fault lies here... in OS X or in the way the
HTTPSocket works. But you have to set the file type after saving the
file. You do this after you have already saved the file, and you
pretty much need to parse the file name to get the file extension.
