Cascade Server Downloads page send War as plain text

When downloading the Apache Tomcat ROOT.war distribution of Cascade, the file is opened in the browser as binary rather than prompt to save the file.

Opening the HTTP headers log show that the file is sent as "text/plain" rather than "application/octet-stream" as a war should be sent as.

    Thank you for reporting this behavior.

    I was also able to reproduce this in Firefox, but not Chrome or Safari. Until we resolve this, feel free to use one of these browsers, or try right clicking on the link in Firefox and use Save Link As.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you again for reporting this issue with Firefox and downloading the ROOT.war file. I wanted to follow up to let you know that we recently updated our web server configuration to address the issue in which the file is being treated as plain text by Firefox.

    I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.

    Have a great day!
