The problem here is that low-level system URL loading code overrides the
Content-Type, so WebKit thinks that it receives text/html, rather than
application/octet-stream. And the file has a meta http-equiv="Refresh" inside,
which causes a redirect. When I change the  Content-Type to text/html, Firefox
also performs a redirect, so I believe WebKit works correctly here.

However, such aggressive Content-Type sniffing may be a bug in OS, could you
please file a bug via <http://bugreport.apple.com> for Apple engineers ot take
a look?
