    When Downloading .rp Files, Internet Explorer changes it to .zip

    OK, a bunch of people are having trouble with the downloadable .rp files I've posted.  When an rp is downloaded in Internet Explorer, IE renames the file to a zip.  With the amount of templates that may be posted in the future, this could be an ongoing problem.

    Is there any way to get around this currently?  Can we add this to the "list of things to fix in the future"? :)

    Gracias,
    Loren

    Hi Loren,

    You can add a MIME type for .rp files on your server. On our ASP.NET server, we added a registered MIME type for .rp files as application/octet-stream. If you tell me what type of server you're running, we may be able to help figure out where to add it.

    AWESOME, thanks :)  I figured it out.. glad you pointed me in the right direction, because I had no idea why that was going on.

    I added "AddType application/octet-stream .rp" to my .htaccess file, fixed everything.
