[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Clicking on the down load option from the software download page:


     GNU Guix 1.3.0 QEMU Image

QCOW2 virtual machine (VM) image.


Does not download a file, it tries to open the file in thevrowser. The 
iso file from the other option downloads fine.

Have a look

Thomas,

Thanks for the report.  I'm CC'ing <gnu <at> gnu.org> as documented 
here[0] to get their opinion.

This is not universal: it works fine in Firefox 100.

However, there does seem to be an inconsistency with the GNU FTP 
server:

~ λ curl -LI 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.iso 
|
   grep Content-Type
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Content-Type: application/x-iso9660-image

~ λ curl -LI 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-vm-image-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.qcow2 
|
   grep Content-Type
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

The QCOW2 response is missing a Content-Type, whilst asking 
browsers not to sniff it for themselves.  Apparently your browser 
is making an exceptionally bad call.

Kind regards,

T G-R
