Assuming that the file is being served by web2py, I don't think that .htaccess
is going to have any effect.
If you're serving the file dynamically (through a controller), you could try:
response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-compressed-tar'
Or you could add this to CONTENT_TYPE in contenttype.py.
'.w2p': 'application/x-compressed-tar',
(I think octet-stream is fine, too, but x-compressed-tar is how web2py serves
.tgz files.)
