File Downloads via UI appear as .zip files
Downloading files from a project within the GitLab UI in Microsoft Edge/IE results files being downloaded as .zip files despite the files having a different file type i.e a .pptx file in a repository is stored as a .zip file. The file functions correctly as expected if the extension on the downloaded file is corrected.
I managed to reproduce this in Internet Explorer via Browserstack but I couldn't reproduce it in Chrome and Firefox on macOS. A customer working in a Windows environment experienced this behavior in IE, Microsoft Edge and Firefox v65.0.1 but not in Chrome.
Reproduction Steps;
Add a pdf,pptx,jpg,png or docx file to a GitLab repository.
After an upload, navigate to the file in the GitLab UI and download the file in IE/Microsoft
