I am using the plugin mb.miniAudioPlayer to handle audio player on my wordpress site.
It allows for nice download button that does not require a "right click and save as" The only problem is that is does not save the file as expected.
I get mp3 file with no filename or anything. even when I rename the file to filename.mp3 it is not playable.
The plugin dev says it is something wrong with my server. I am totally lost. any help would be appreciated.
example page is here link
Response from dev here link
I didn't find any mp3 file link to download but if it's a server side problem then it could be a myme-type issue. Your server must be configured to handle the mp3 files. Add following code in your .htaccess file in the server root, it may solve the problem.
<Files *.mp3>
ForceType application/octet-stream
</Files>
Also remember that your mp3 files on the server must have mp3 extension. Also take a look at this.

I am trying to use wget to download an audio file from a link (which has no file extension). The issue is that clicking this link automatically starts a .wav file download but wget on the same link returns a file without a file extension. Passing the -O file.wav extension does not work as the file itself is not compatible.
I have tried
wget -O test.wav "[DOWNLOAD LINK]"
The above downloads a file in my directory which is not audio.
My problem can be replicated by going to https://captcha.com/demos/features/captcha-demo.aspx and clicking on the href associated with the element of class class=BDC_SoundLink.
Questions:
Is there a way to get wget to return same result as clicking the link?
Is there a way to resolve the non audio file to audio file after wget does whatever it does?
Any help would be much appreciated!
The thing is that when you use WGET, you're actually downloading a text file because the MIME type is Text.
When you browse the website through your webbrowser it actually gets the right captcha code from the server and then you're able to download the file with the right captcha code. You can see below in the dev tools that the captcha code is here.
This sound file is linked to the captcha itself and each time you reload the captcha picture, the backend C# code of the asp.net page is giving a new captcha code.
That's why you can't download the captcha that way.
In my chrome app, I am using HTML5 file system to save the pdf files to sand box.Downloading is working fine.But how do i access that downloaded file path? I want to give that path as webview source.
The best way, if it works, would be to use a filesystem URL. To get this use FileEntry.toURL
These don't work on external files (i.e. files that come from chrome.fileSystem.chooseEntry and are outside the app's sandbox) but should work for files in the app's sandbox.
Note, I am referring to filesystem:// urls not file://urls, which won't work as Marc Rochkind has pointed out in his answer.
Disclaimer: I haven't tested this, but I believe it should work.
You need to get the contents of the PDF into a data URL. See my answer to this question:

I've got a repository on github with a .css file in it. Is there any way to have github serve this file in a way that I can consume it in a web page?
In other words, I'd like to be able to reference this source file at github directly, from an HTML file on my local computer or a live domain. Something like:
<link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="http://github.com/foouser/barproject/master/xenu-is-my-lover.css"
/>
I've tried including a<link> to the "raw" source file (http://raw.github.com...), but github serves its Content-Type as text/plain, and consequently, Chrome and FF are not adding its content as CSS styles to the page—the file's data is being discarded and a warning is shown in the debugger consoles of the browsers.
Important: rawgit.com is shutting down. Read more about other alternatives here - https://rawgit.com/
Found something really cool. You get the raw link as: http://raw.github.com/...
Simply fetch the files from rawgit.com (or cdn.rawgit.com) instead of raw.github.com and DONE!
UPDATE:
You can also use raw.githack.com if you want to serves raw files directly from Bitbucket or GitLab
GitHub repos aren't web hosting, you should push that stuff up to a service specifically designed to serve files, like pages.github.com.
Check out https://gitcdn.link/ . Seems to work well.
Rawgit.com has shut down.
First Visit RawGit as suggested earlier
Next copy your file path from github into the RawGit box
RawGit will automatically produce two refrences to your web page
The Development and Production refrence
refrence the development link in your webpage if you are still developing
save/upload then reload your webpage
if there was no change it means your browser has saved your former refrence
clear your browser data then reload
Hope that helps?
You have to use RawGit which, is a part of MaxCDN, serve files directly from the GitHub repository with the correct content type header.

I have included my cache manifest file in the root of my directory.
<html lang="se" manifest="cache.manifest">
My cache.manifest looks like

I also included a .htaccess file in my root directory with the content
AddType text/cache-manifest .manifest
When I'm trying to open my app on my Iphone it still says "Can't open page" (or similar, have my page in swedish).
Does someone have any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
Your mark-up and cache file look fine, but if the site won't go off-line there's a problem with the cache. It only has to fail on one element, and the whole thing won't work. Have you tried debugging your cache file? This post will help:
Jonathan Stark, Debugging HTML 5 Offline Application Cache
Note this won't tell you which asset causes the failure (if any), but it will tell you if your cache is working or not.
I actually had a similar issue yesterday. Try removing the CACHE: and just listing the items for the cache. I found this by accident and it seems to now work on IOS for me. Also, I added a comment field at the top to make sure I can invalidate the cache. I would give that a try.
I also had the same problem. I included the lines below in the cache.manifest file & it fixed for me.

I was struggling for 2 hours with this and finally I've managed it! HORAY! I've added "/" to cache, this was the problem...
I want to add a pdf and word format of my resume to my portfolio page and make it downloadable. Does anyone have some simple script?
Add a link to the file and let the browser handle the download.
You may be over-complicating the problem. It's possible to use a href pointing to the location of the .pdf or .doc file, when a user clicks on this in their browser, generally they will be asked if they would like to save or open the file, depending on their OS/configuration.
If this is still confusing, leave a comment and I'll explain anything you don't get.
Create the PDF. Upload it. Add a link.
Save yourself 30 minutes tossing around with PDFGEN code.
You will want to issue or employ the Content-Disposition HTTP header to force the download otherwise some browsers may recognize the common file extensions and try to automatically open the file contents. It will feel more professional if the link actually downloads the file instead of launching an app - important for a resume I think.
Content-Disposition must be generated within the page from the server side as far as I know.
Option:
Upload your resume to Google Docs.
Add a link to the file on your portfolio page just as I do in the menu of my blog:
Use Google Docs Viewer passing to it the URL of the PDF as you can see in this link.
