those mime-types are different on many servers :-(
my .exe example:

<key>application/x-msdos-program</key>
<dict>
<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>exe</string>
</array>
<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
<string>exe File</string>
<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>

is working for this link to putty

but not for this to PES2008 Demo

hachu,
first of all, great job. This is something very usefull that I was looking for.
Just an advice. I was reading this topic and saw that in every page there is at least 2 updates on the script, adding torrent, mp3, avi support and stuff like that. So it would be very good if you stay updating the first post with a revised file, and put the date on it.

Like: Revised on December 03.
Changed: ""
Something like that. Just to have a fixed place to look if there were any changes.
Again, nice job, and thanks,
Abras

Save as.... I'll look into it, but I'm having a hard time with UITextField and UITextLabel right now trying to show info. UITextLabel doesn't display at all. And UITextField doesn't wrap by itself on 1.0.2.

I am trying to use this for downloading messages from m.grandcentral.com it works fine with my prevously posted changes to the Info.plist file. It downloads the mp3 file but the filename is a very long string...

Also I am looking forward to the source... should be a great starting point for other plugins.

Hmm, yeah, as several people have mentioned, there's a variety even for zip files.
So while it worked for me on a test site, it appears it didn't work for others.

I'll have to find a better list to import from before I post it. The apache one looks promising. Meanwhile, I'm glad you guys are having fun trying a variety of them.

In order to discover what the MIME-type that server is reporting, if you have a unix/linux box, you can do:
curl -I http://ninon.metaboli.fr/demos/pes2008demo_setup.exe

I see the following come back:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Cheers,

did u replace Cher with share?

Finally, I figured out how to make it work for all mime types I need to download.
Thanks hachu for mime-type tip. Yes, it depends on the server you get the file from.
Different web servers configured to have different mime-types records.
I noticed that IIS uses "application/x-zip-compressed" while nginx or apache uses "application/zip". That's why this plugin didn't work for me, I tried to get zip files from IIS which is configured to reply with "application/x-zip-compressed", this content type was not Info.plist.
Now I add extra section to Info.plist so the whole zip section should look like:

Code:

<key>application/x-zip-compressed</key>
		<dict>
			<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>zip</string>
			</array>
			<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
			<string>zip File</string>
			<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>
		<key>application/zip</key>
		<dict>
			<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>zip</string>
			</array>
			<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
			<string>zip File</string>
			<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>

This ensures that at least two different server content types will be processed by script properly. To be sure that it works shut down Safari (press Home button several seconds till Safari turns to dark and be closed). After restart Safari succesfully passes the control to plugin, now it's possible to download zip files from different web servers. I used:
http://www.zenon.net/zip/current-official-docs.zip
http://89.108.121.59/video/test.zip
Disregard the file content, test the download capability in Safari.

Next step was to try some exe downloading. I use IIS to check, adding this section will do the trick:

Code:

<key>application/octet-stream</key>
		<dict>
			<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>exe</string>
			</array>
			<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
			<string>exe File</string>
			<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>

To test I get the file from the same IIS server
http://www.multitran.ru/DownLoad/mtshort.exe (2 Mb)
Don't be afraid it's not a virus.
So now it's clear how to extend the scope of plugin functionality.

Still can't found the code for the .dmg files..

Since most of the download files format are .dmg.

Could somebody find the code ?

Thanks x1000
