Mac plugin download does not expand into a proper .dmg file #128

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Trying to download sometimes gets the "404 not found" page
http://dl.google.com/earth/plugin/4.3.11528.8566/googleearth-plugin-mac.dmg

- Once it successfully dowloaded "googleearth-plugin-mac.dmg.bz2"
but ...
expanding it resulted in a .dmg that would not mount

Note: bunzip2 gave the following error:
googleearth-plugin-mac.dmg.bz2: trailing garbage after EOF ignored

Hi, I can't repro this.. and you shouldn't be downloading a BZ2 file; it is 
purely
DMG. Which browser are you downloading with, or are you using curl?

Just tried it again two different ways with two different browsers Firefox 
3.0.5 and
Safari 3.2.1 from an Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Downloads a 29.1MB .bz2 file all the times and the resulting .dmg file is not
mountable any of the times.

The page I tried to download from was:
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/helloearth/index.html
I clicked on the "Get the Google Earth plugin now" button.

Not a pressing issue for me since Google Earth is working, but you thought you 
might
want to know.

Oh, wow. Just saw it. Thanks for reporting that, we're on it.

By the way, this is due to a fairly egregious Safari bug related to DMG file 
mime
types. Our workaround should go live soon.

Fixed. Notes: this only affected some versions of Safari, and the problem was 
solved
by changing mimetypes for the DMG download.
