Thread: jdbc.postgresql.org still configured to send .jars as text/plain

jdbc.postgresql.org still configured to send .jars as text/plain

From

Hi,

Just tried downloading the latest JDBC driver from jdbc.postgresql.org,
and it's still configured to send .jar files as content-type "text/plain".

The only way I was able to get it correctly was using IE (!), as IE sees
the .jar extension and overrides the text/plain that the server is
trying to tell it.

Not sure who can fix it, but it's important that it gets done.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I can fix, but what should it be sending it as?

Hi Marc,

Probably as some kind of octet stream, or anything else binary.

"application/octet-stream" might be the goer.

Cool.  That should make it pretty much 100% workable for people.
