Some comments about Opera browser

latest stable Opera Next is 1090. Builds 1116 and 1105 are not stable

Since 10.50 I descovered bug, when some pages with content-type application/octet-stream are opened as text/html and after loading - text/plain. This bug is exists in opera 10.70 (build 3451).

Strange, but this sometimes can't be reproduced on same sites on different machines. For example, in some builds I can't download from sourceforge (http://sf.net) and in latest - from Adobe.com, but can download linux flash player 10.1 x64 from download.macromedia.com

I know very few facts about:

• this is tested only on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows
• Adobe returns application/octet-stream as content-type for downloadable content (for example Acrobat reader 9.3 installer)
• None of plugins installed is affects on this bug
• possibly, envirounment also is not affects on this bug

But I've found this useful links:

• bug with changing server-side php code to support opera: http://www.xmbforum.com/tracker/view.php?id=287
• http://takkaria.org/tests/octet-stream/
• http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Part2#Survey_of_content_sniffing_behaviors

Please, tell me about this bug, if you know something more

external javascript loaded and executed time-to-time

example is here
the preprocesesed file is here

if page has MIME `application/x-msdownload' (for exaple - any *.exe) opera rather view than download it.

Fixed in build 8585
