That's essentially the fault of your browser, or the vaguely specified nature of HTTP, if you want. `curl -I http://hg.suckless.org/stali-toolchain/raw-file/e2f2828820b4/build/i386-linux-uclibc/include/a.out.h` shows that hg is presenting it to the browser as: Content-Disposition: inline Which means that the browser should display it. Yours chooses not to, I presume, as it isn't confident about its ability to display the filetype presented (e.g. text/x-chdr) I'd blame the web more broadly ;-) Certainly it's unfair to lay the blame at hgweb's feet. Though I far prefer to just hg pull, and use my text editor etc, even if it's just to satisfy my vague curiousity about a file.
