Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apache
According to [1],[2] and [3], we have to apply a workaround to our apache configuration to enable users of IE to download zip files from our webserver. We added '|zip' to the following line in '/etc/apache2 /sites-available/default' and 'default-ssl': SetEnvIfNoCase REQUEST_URI .(?:gif|jp?g|png|zip)$ no-gzip dont-vary Although this is certainly not a bug in apache, Ubuntu should include this workaround in the default configuration.
