When I try to link up a jar file to my website, and the user tries to download it, the file downloads as a .ZIP file instead of a .JAR.
Is there a way to fix this?
Note: I am using webs.com as my website server.
What server are you using to serve the file? The configured MIME type is probably not configured properly for
*.jarfiles. Ideally, it should be set toapplication/java-archive.I would guess that currently, it is set to
application/zip– or is being auto-detected as such based on the content of the JAR file – which is a derivative of a ZIP file and would be detected as a ZIP file.
