Content-Length header is missing when I try to download rar, exe, msi static files, though response for images contains Content-Length, but if I change rar extension to jpg it doesn’t.

How do I solve this?

    What headers do you see? It’s possible it’s being served using Transfer-Encoding: Chunked, which is a perfectly legitimate way of transferring responses over HTTP.

    Also, how are you serving the file – using static files, your code, or the blobstore?
