Description:
------------
When downloading the "PHP 5.2.1 installer" msi file, the server sends back a Content-type of text/plain instead of whatever it should be

Reproduce code:
---------------
Download from here:

http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.1-win32-installer.msi/from/a/mirror

Expected result:
----------------
A box would pop up asking to save/open file

Actual result:
--------------
Web browser (Firefox and Opera but not MSIE) attempts to render it as plain text and promptly crashes (having maxed out the CPU).

The HTTP response from the server is as follows:

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:31:11 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.2 (Fedora)
Last-Modified: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 14:31:48 GMT
Etag: "1497f-131c008-5e943d00"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 20037640
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Which mirror was that?
 [2007-03-21 13:28 UTC] dave at psntn dot com 
It only seems to be with the uk* mirrors.  I've tried about 5 others and they all pop the download box up (although the ones I observed sent back text/plain too).

I've just tried a random selection of other mirrors and found the same problem on us3 and sg as well as all the uk mirrors.

I've upgraded our mirroring recommendation and will contact the affected mirror maintainers..

Thanks

Update: ge, gr2, ir, il, jp2 & us3 are still affected.
 [2007-04-10 11:12 UTC] bjori@php.net 
I disabled these mirrors and mailed the maintainers again.
