You're passing a FolderItem variable to HTTPSocket for the download, right? After the download is complete, set MacType and MacCreator on the FolderItem to the proper values for the file you're downloading. If you're having trouble finding the right type and creator codes, try setting each of them to chr(0) + chr(0) + chr(0) + chr(0) That's off the top of my head, so take it as more guess than guru, but it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes of playing to see if it's going to work or not.
