download file does not work in Safari correctly

[jbmckee]

I am using the following to allow a user to download a generated zip file:

    $headers = Yii::$app->response->headers;
    $headers->set('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename={$file_name}");
    $headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/zip');
    Yii::$app->response->content = $zipfile;
    return;

This works fine in every browser except Safari. Unfortunately, if the file name is file.zip, it downloads as file.zip.html

However, this works as expected: header('Content-Type: application/zip'); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename={$file_name}"); echo $zipfile; exit;

Q	A
Yii version	2.0.?

Have you tried special response methods for file uploads?

I originally was going to use Yii::$app->response->sendContentAsFile($zipfile, $file_name)->send(); but was under the impression that there was a bug with this method. This is why I went with the Yii::$app->response->content = $zipfile;

However, I just tried Yii::$app->response->sendContentAsFile($zipfile, $file_name)->send(); on Mac in both Chrome and Safari and by golly, it did work. So, maybe whatever bug there was has been fixed.

Thanks for your attention.
