Browsers try to download web page? Today I found that when I try to go to a specific web page in my iPad browsers, including safari, it prompts to download the page, it does not do this for any other webpage. If I do do this I just get a file in my download folder that does nothing. I’ve checked the page in windows and it acts normally.

Nobody has answered the BASIC QUESTION: Is the **** thing malware? is it safe to click yes to allow index.html to be downloaded and run? Reply yes or no, please, if someone KNOWS.
