Fixed: tapping "Save to phone" opened a video player instead of downloading (iPhone Safari, some Android browsers)

Why: the file was served as video/mp4 / audio/mpeg, so mobile browsers played it inline rather than saving it. It is now served as application/octet-stream with X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff and Content-Disposition: attachment - every browser (iOS Safari, Android Chrome) treats that as a file to save.

Also added:

  • HEAD support on the download route (some mobile download managers probe first)
  • Accept-Ranges + 206 partial content were already there (resume works)

Verified end to end through the Worker:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="youtube_jNQXAC9IVRw.mp4"; filename*=UTF-8''youtube_jNQXAC9IVRw.mp4
Accept-Ranges: bytes
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

Where the file lands

  • Android: Downloads folder (Chrome downloads it directly)
  • iPhone: Files app > Downloads (Safari shows the download; if the video starts playing instead, long-press the Save to phone button and choose Download Linked File)

Recommended download: SaveTool-v1.7.5-win64.zip - everything included, unzip and double-click savetoolw.exe.
