A quick fix this morning for a client with a Drupal issue, links to mq4 files were opening as plain text in the browser window instead of presenting a download file prompt.

This is due to the server configuration, apache mime-types. It is usually easily fixed in an .htaccess file.

AddType application/octet-stream mq4

If that doesn’t sort the issue after clearing the browser cache, you can also try adding:

<Files *.mq4>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</Files>
