Re: 6.7.5 RC1 opens rather than downloads

When I click on the link for the latest 6.7.5 RC1 firmware, the link seems to try to open the file rather than download it. I get screens full of bizarre characters. I have tried a different browser and both links, same result.
Right clicking the link and selecting "Save link as.." works of course, but normally a simple click of the link will directly download.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, we were required to add an anti-MIME-Sniffing header (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff), which oddly made Chrome interpret application/octet-stream as plain text. We added an explicit Content-Disposition header now, so it should be back to normal.

Re: 6.7.5 RC1 opens rather than downloads
I didn't have that issue with Chrome. Like the PC is configured to automatically open the file type.
Did you try a right-click and then do a "save as"

Re: 6.7.5 RC1 opens rather than downloads
Yes, as I mentioned, "Save link as..." works.
I am using chrome and edge and I haven't changed any download settings AFAIK. Normally files download when links are clicked and I have checked by clicking links on the readynas download site - all the links when clicked lead to a download dialog box. The link for 6.7.5 RC1 on the forum does not.
Odd.

Re: 6.7.5 RC1 opens rather than downloads
Same for me (opens rather than downloads if I click the file, which I normally do). However Save As does behave as normal and allows to download (Chrome). Other files work fine so there is something different about this one. Cheers

Oddly enough, it behaved properly for me about 10-12 hours ago, but is misbehaving now.

Re: 6.7.5 RC1 opens rather than downloads
I think this type of behavior is the result of incorrect MIME settings, either on the server or browser.
Most likely the server now that is affecting multiple users.
