Treating every file in a file_server as a download

thepwrtank18 · November 12, 2022, 1:12am

1. Output of `caddy version`:

v2.6.2 h1:wKoFIxpmOJLGl3QXoo6PNbYvGW4xLEgo32GPBEjWL8o=

2. How I run Caddy:

I run a command prompt window on Windows.

a. System environment:

Windows 10, 19045.2251

b. Command:

caddy run

d. My complete Caddy config:

[subdomain1].[domain].[tld] {
	reverse_proxy 192.168.1.112:2086
	tls {
		dns cloudflare [api key]
	}
}

[subdomain2].[domain].[tld] {
	reverse_proxy 192.168.1.112:8096
	tls {
		dns cloudflare [api key]
	}
}

[subdomain3].[domain].[tld] {
	file_server browse
	tls {
		dns cloudflare [api key]
	}
}

3. The problem I’m having:

When making a file_server, the browser treats every file like text, not as binary data. That means it tries to process it to display, rather that download it. I just want the browser to download everything.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

used Free Download Manager (tries to process the binary file as a list of URL’s, infinite loading)
curl -v, displays this:

This keeps going until you press Ctrl+C. It still downloads the file successfully (passes SHA1 check), but something’s definitely wrong here.

Turns out it was Fiddler running that caused the problem.
