[QUOTE="technologist, post: 882424, member: 4134"] The "problem" is that .ipa files use zip packaging and compression, and the web server is assigning them a MIME type of "application/zip" just like regular zip files. When Safari downloads the file, it notices the MIME type is the one for a ZIP file, and that the file is missing the correct extension, so it adds it on. So long as the web server is identifying .IPA files as regular ZIP files, Safari will add the ZIP extension. The only way around this is to change the MIME type on the server. [/QUOTE]
