This links points to a static resource, served by Tomcat's Default Servlet.

The problem is that the response does not contain Content-type header. IE is doing some "MIME-sniffing" and changes the extension to zip. 

The solution is to add the following declaration to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml

    <mime-mapping>
      <extension>war</extension>
      <mime-type>application/zip</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>

Tomcat will send the correct header "Content-Type: application/zip" and IE will accept the war extension.

Added the the proposed declaration, but not to the global web.xml, but to the download application's web.xml.
