Google-chrome – Chrome says: “Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document”

docxdownloadgoogle-chromemime-types

I am offering a file for download from my site, which is working. However, I am noticing this behavior from Chrome.

I think I have the correct MIME Type set but Chrome is showing this message and also marks the request in red.

The MIME type I have set is:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

Is this the expected behavior for *.docx files? It seems like I may be doing something wrong.

Don't worry about the Chrome warning. You are using a valid MIME Type for .docx files.
