Mobile download using new share #347

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Using the new share feature, shared links seem to download as *random_name*.bin 
files on Android mobile. Strangely this only seems to happen on default Android 
browser, another browser (Dolphin HD) works perfect.

Could you try adding param "m=1" into the url, does it help? I don't have 
Android phone right now, so can't test this myself.

Yes, I'm pretty sure this has been there before, the same download mechanism is 
used in every place.

Mobile browsers are picky, especially Android. For example:

So I think this about a http header required to be in some exact form, I just 
don't have Android browser to test this.
