Featured download link to .iso is broken

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to cygwin easy homepage (http://www.cygwineasy.tk/)
2. Click on link to iso featured download (goes to
http://cygwin-easy.googlecode.com/files/Cygwin-Easy-2007.03.21.iso)
3. Save to hard drive

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a 1.9gb iso file, instead I get a 1kb iso file.
Examining the contents of the 1kb iso shows: 
<verbatim>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Downloading Cygwin Easy 2007.03.21 ...</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;
URL=http://linux.studenti.fastbull.org/linuxstudenti/Cygwin-Easy-2007.03.21.iso"
>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div style="font-family: verdana, arial, serif; font-size: small">If your
browser doesn't proceed to download, please click <a
href="http://linux.studenti.polito.it/linuxstudenti/Cygwin-Easy-2007.03.21.iso">
here</a>.</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>

</verbatim>

Going to the URL specified in that html code starts downloading the real iso.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Steps above are using Firefox3 on WinXPx64sp2.

Please provide any additional information below.

Google Code doesn't allow to upload the iso file because of the size, so this 
little trick allow to redirect to a 
mirror.

okay, I understand what you are trying to do now, but it doesn't work. The .iso
featured download is not being sent as x/html so the client browser just saves 
the
redirect to disk instead of following it to the real link. Perhaps if the 
download
file was renamed to .html it would work as intended?
