MIME type incorrect for cached torrents #21

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When downloading a cached torrent the Content-Type sent to the client is 
application/octet-stream instead of something like application/x-bittorrent.

The current way always pops up a save dialog on Firefox and wont allow add-ons 
like bittorrent-webui to properly take care of the .torrent file in the 
background.

I think this is the problem that I've been experiencing with Kickass Torrents 
[kickass.to] (which is that I get the Firefox Save dialog). The url for the 
actual torrents point to torcache.net which is some sort of torrent caching 
service. And sure enough, the Content-Type of these requests is 
"application/octet-stream" just as iame mentioned. 

It should be easy to duplicate. Just go to kickass.to and download any torrent.
