    text
    copied!<p>I'm having an issue serving an APK on my server that is using rails. I can serve the APK if the download link is put in /public. However, I want to password protect it. If I move the file behind a URL that requires HTTP authentication, then it will fail on the stock browser with a <code>Download Unsuccessful</code> immediately.</p> <p>If I install and run firefox, firefox is able to download the APK and install correctly.</p> <p>Anyone know how to make this work with Android's stock browser?</p> <p>I have added the <code>MIME Type</code> to the server:</p> <pre><code>Mime::Type.register "application/vnd.android.package-archive", :apk </code></pre> <p>And I'm trying to send_file while behind HTTP authentication:</p> <pre><code>send_file "android.apk", :type =&gt; 'application/vnd.android.package-archive' </code></pre> <p>Successful HTTP-header from /public:</p> <pre><code>~ curl -s -D- android.apk -o/dev/null HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.4.1 Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:06:43 GMT Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Length: 38673086 Last-Modified: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:05:12 GMT Connection: keep-alive ETag: "51df0ff8-24e1abe" Accept-Ranges: bytes </code></pre> <p>Unsuccessful HTTP header from behind HTTP Authentication:</p> <pre><code>~ curl -s -D- private/android.apk -o/dev/null HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.4.1 Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:11:53 GMT Content-Type: application/octet-stream Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive Status: 200 OK X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-UA-Compatible: chrome=1 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="SironaVideoSurvey.apk" Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Cache-Control: private Set-Cookie: request_method=GET; path=/ X-Request-Id: 6b99f5e5-87f8-4f8c-816c-0034265b3991 X-Runtime: 0.016140 </code></pre>
