Downloading files not working - instead it opens html

[denkstream]

Hello everyone,

I have a weird issue.

First my snippet looks something like this:

 <a href="<?= $fileSingle->url() ?>">
   <?= $file->title()->html() ?>
 </a>

This is how the visitor see the page:

When the link is inspected (Like Berechnungstabelle Abgaben, Beiträge) it shows link too:

But when the link is clicked, the visitor is getting a html file and this:

Do you have a idea what I did wrong here?

Thanks in advance

Media webp files shown as plain text

That is definitely a server configuration setup. As regards the webp image shown as binary data, that also seems to be configuration issue, because if you look at the image in your browsers network tab, you will see that it shows up as plain text. So it seems that your mapping of extensions to mime types is not correct. [Bildschirmfoto 2023-12-16 um 16.19.21]

You might also be able to use download attribute on the link tag.

<a href="http://example.com/table.xlsx" download>Download File</a>
