Safari displays the Firefox 1.5 distribution DMG as garbage text instead of
downloading it, despite the correct mime-type.

We have several packet traces and other debugging info at

-[WebLoader connection:didReceiveResponse:] receives 'text/html' from NSURLConnection - so it is the 
latter's content sniffer that breaks things.

Should likely be closed as INVALID (bug in Apple system software), and handled via <http://
bugreporter.apple.com>, but I'll leave this for someone else to verify. The problem itself is of course very 
real.
Comment 2 Darin Adler 2005-11-30 13:33:13 PST 
That's right. This should be reported at http://bugreport.apple.com because it's a bug in lower-level 
system software that WebKit relies on.

I believe there's already a bug report about this general issue in Radar and we're doing what we can to get 
it fixed as soon as possible. But please file another if you would like.
