downloads always set to filetype F80

2014-02-26 Thread John Rickman Iyonix 

NetSurf downloads always set filetype of &F80 (XML?) and I have to 
retype to ZIP, PDF etc as appropriate.

Is this just happening on my machine?

John

Always?  From everywhere?  For every file type?

On RISC OS RaspBerry Pi the file, "float036.zip" is downloaded and 
saved as "float036" and given a filetype of &F80.
(NS #1702)

On the Iyonix the .zip suffix is retained but the file type is still 
set to &F80.
(NS #1740)

Probably the remote server not sending the correct (or any) 
content-type. This quite often happens with email attachments too.

Have just noticed that suffix retention is an option on the Interface 
choices.
