How to download a RAR File?

Question

I've made a website but the problem is when people is trying to download the file instead it opens the file not save as or download the file.

Doesn't a simple search on google offer you information about that? You need to send out a http header. You want to add information on _how_ to handle some object you send. So the information cannot be _part of_ that object. You need to add it to the protocol layer, so a header entry. — arkascha, Oct 28 '17 at 13:37

I think the problem is the file type I'll be trying to change it from .rar to .zip – Raven Lescano Oct 30 '17 at 09:24
