Nosniff Causes Files to display - Rather than download as intended

[Lee Fuller <it@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm setting the nosniff option on one of our Virtual Hosts (site is a Wordpress site). There are two links to download files, one DMG and one ZIP. However, when we add this header, the files do not download, they are displayed. I have added Mime Type definitions to the VHost as follows:

 

AddType application/octet-stream .dmg

AddType application/zip .zip

 

Does not help. Any suggestions?
