As was pointed out in a cousin comment, it's not necessarily the browser or the webserver configuration.

SSL proxies -- corporate middleware -- have a habit of breaking this way, by stripping the content-disposition field or similar.



Let the user talk to their IT department and have them reconfigure their snake oil so it's not broken?


It would have to be mangling both the Content-Disposition and Content-Type headers.

If that's really happening (I have my doubts) and that's a client you want to continue supporting, then the next step would be limiting yourself to SingleFileZ-style ZIP payloads that can be as text/html.
