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

This issue was re-appeared at Chrome 61 version. But it seems it is fixed at Chrome 62.

I have a RewriteRule like below

RewriteRule ^/ShowGuide/?$ https:///help.pdf [L,NC,R,QSA]

With Chrome 61, the PDF was not opening, in console it was showing the message

"Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf: "

We tried to add mime type in the rewrite rule as below but it didn't help.

RewriteRule ^/ShowGuide/?$ https:///help.pdf [L,NC,R,QSA, t:application/pdf]

I have updated my Chrome to latest 62 version and it started to showing the PDF again. But the message is still there in the console.

With all other browsers, it was/is working fine.
