If You See Something (IRL), Post Something! (Part 1)

This is a bit tangent, but…

I was rolling a web server as the core of a project, and it’d serve a HTML page but it’d never show in the browser. Odd. And then I noticed that the browser was saving the page as a download without ever asking me if I wanted to save it. (Firefox. Chromium also saves without asking, but at least displays that it has in the lower left corner.)

Huh. That seems half-way like a bad security risk. I certainly won’t casually open HTML files in my download directory after this. Now to fix my header problem.
