Description Rob Moran CLA 2020-10-16 04:57:34 EDT 
Since building new installers for ecd.Theia, I've noticed that the MacOS .pkg installers cannot be directly downloaded from the download servers.

They instead open as a text file in the browser. e.g:

https://download.eclipse.org/theia/1.6.0/macos/Theia-1.6.0.pkg

Is it possible there is a mime type issue here?

Cheers,

Rob

We'll need to set the MIME type for .pkg files.

The closest I can find is application/vnd.apple.installer+xml, which is what OSU OSL uses, but some mirrors use the generic application/octet-stream.

I'll go with application/vnd.apple.installer+xml

This is now working for me!

Closing!
