I have a php script that copy a zip file on the server and then create an html link to that zip file.

The link looks like this:

<a href="mydir/myzipfile.zip">Link</a>

The problem I have is that when I click on the link when using Chrome, I get this warning message in the console:

Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/zip

The link doesn't event point to some php header functions, it just a standard href link, yet I have this warning message. Do you have any idea why? thanks

  • Duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6587393/resource-interpreted-as-document-but-transferred-with-mime-type-application-zip ; in general, you are trying to **open** a ZIP-file in your browser (rather than **save** it to a disk). – Alexander Pavlov Nov 22 '12 at 15:19
  • @AlexanderPavlov what is the difference? window.location = url_to_zip, what other way is there to do this? – Johannes Apr 02 '13 at 15:45

  • I also get `Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type video/x-msvideo:` when clicking in the video thumbs in this page: http://luis.impa.br/photo/00_filmes.html Chrome tries to save the video instead of playing it. Any clues how to solve this in `html4`? – Luis A. Florit Nov 08 '14 at 13:34
