mirror sending MSI installation package as text/plain

           Summary: mirror sending MSI installation package as text/plain
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.46
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.apache.inetcosmos.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win
                    32/apache_2.0.46-win32-x86-no_src.msi
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: brantgurganus2001@cherokeescouting.org


The www.apache.inetcosmos.org mirror appears configured to send MSI installation
packages with a media type of text/plain.  In browsers such as Mozilla that
handle files according to their media type, this binary format is displayed as
text instead of downloaded.  This prevents potential file downloaders from
downloading the binary.  This fix should be as simple as adding the following
line to the appropriate configuration file since the server identifies itself as
Apache:
AddType application/octet-stream .msi

A workaround in the mean time is to right-click the file link and choose "Save
Link Target As".
