Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/zip

Question

With Chrome 12.0.742.112, if I redirect with the following headers:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found 
Location: http://0.0.0.0:3000/files/download.zip
Content-Type: text/h         


        

Answer 1

I encountered this same issue today with Chrome Version 30.0.1599.66 with my node.js / express.js application.

The headers are correct, express sets them properly automatically, it works in other browsers as indicated, putting html 5 'download' attribute does not resolve, what did resolve it is going into the chrome advanced settings and checking the box "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

After that there was no "Resource interpreted as document...." error reported as in the title of this issue so it appears that our server code is correct, it's Chrome that is incorrectly reporting that error in the console when it's set to save files to a location automatically.
