Sorry, I do not think that is quite correct. The browser can launch an appropriate application on the downloaded file, as long as you send the data labelled with proper mimetype. If you send out application/octet-stream, of course that would not work. Having said that, I am not sure what special things Martin wanted to do with x.8.html that is different from y.html, so maybe discussing the patch does not have merit at all. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
