That's consistent with my tests. I can run a .exe (after clicking through a warning) downloaded on Windows. On Linux I can't, because http doesn't propagate permissions and nothing sets the executable bit. On Mac people use .dmg or .zip to get around this issue. I suppose linux binaries are generally packaged in an archive as well. Downloading a .so directly over http, or generating and saving one, is a new use case. Thanks for clarifying, -r -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTWsQiAAoJEEcAD3uxRB3v7bUH/A04tpv+mWJbRp2ZXw4LFi5I lcPirOmnqxIxKo//nDJPNDfxHRiSp7nKHbQLM/RKcUsE9rJEFhKszE48ERnTcI5Y wyYXWE7R+SOyRl4AJ3kOD+jyZbERN3v2i86fDYoGWcxjAdaGmvwgmIHGtJ3YO+UC IixN35U9xoLG+BHf7vve2jZrnlEnsb1emn0cBKPPmvQGGSEWjkM6bV8G+uw/xIo+ TTOZW/RXx280DjX+47dUPIDs5yiyd7vsxo3kccCppLQ1N+RbnQ6ETjVpcFSANcFW tZD1WPqh3N3scbmexK6+MfMILYvGxWpUnBZ0XtURCdVBeGBeYheVGxZdsDlOeCs= =W77G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
