Forwarding this on because it's reproducible using "myadmin" (I tried).

Hello,

I can't explain it so maybe you'll have a random guess at it. But I'm using the latest firefox version and I went to search for a package (phpmyadmin) and it returns a downloadable mimetype of application/octet-stream However using IE, it works just fine. So just for giggles I tried searching for myadmin and same thing. Every other package I'm searching for works just fine lol. So I dunno haha

~ Sammie

I can also reproduce it when searching for other packages. This error only appears sometimes. There's a FR: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16134

'other packages' doesn't help me. specific search terms do. :-) Dusty -- Ask me about custom python and web development services.

Except... 'myadmin' works fine for me.

auctex, xerces-c-2 (deleted since then) The BIN problem come and go. When firefox tries to download a BIN, if you click cancel and do the search again, it will work fine. If you try again 5-6 time it will work fine. I can't replicate that problem reliably. wonder also had this problem.

Yeah but searching for "myadmin" on here http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ (NOT the dev site) reproduces it 100% of the time.

I reiterate: not for me. Dusty -- Ask me about custom python and web development services.

I wonder... do we have some sort of apache level protections in place for people trying to hit like "/phpmyadmin/" on the server? It could be butting up against something like that

100% of the time for me too, and not only that, but I can get it 100% of the time just searching for "mya". "my" seems to work. In addition, we have a ton of 404's on the resources for that page right now. -Dan
