Description

Lighty sends a wrong Content Type for .jar files; so firefox crashes and the IE hangs.

I compared the output of Apache and Lighty. Lighty sends application/octet-stream and the apache sends application/x-java-archive. I added

".jar" => "application/x-java-archive",

in the mimetype assign section and all was fine :) Please add this line by default to the lighty config to avoid this problem.

application/octet-stream should cause FF, IE and any other browser to display a download dialog.
If it crashes or hangs, there is something seriously broken in the browser because other downloads shouldn't work either.

Not lightys fault.

It isn't the job of the lightty authors to try and cover every MIME type that could possibly exist.
