[ckan-dev] Download text/geojson files, files without extension

Thu Oct 16 11:04:36 UTC 2014

Thanks for your answer!
So if I've understood, there's no solution for the download problem yet?

I've noticed that the preview of file without extension works on my development instance, but not on my production (using apache server). 
Do you think upgrading to 2.2.1 will solve the problem on my production instance?
Best regards,
Harold
