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

I've faced this today, and my issue was that my Content-Disposition tag was wrongly set. It looks like for both pdf & application/x-zip-compressed, you're supposed to set it to inline instead of attachment.

So to set your header, Java code would look like this:

...
String fileName = "myFileName.zip";
String contentDisposition = "attachment";
if ("application/pdf".equals(contentType)
    || "application/x-zip-compressed".equals(contentType)) {
    contentDisposition = "inline";
}
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition + "; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
...
