Mark,
what causes it to be downloaded is a header called "Content-Disposition".
If it's there and says "attachment" then the browser will present it as
a download, whatever the media type.
If it's not there, the browser will choose what to do depending on what
it supports (png or html: can display, doc: will download ...).
The html head element will not influence that.
Can it be that the link you have has an extra parameter called
"forceDownload=1". At least in earlier versions, this is what added the
header. Removing it would be the trick.
Note that offering html documents to upload and preview to "anybody" is
a rather big security issue but probably this is not an issue here.

Hi all,
I'm an XWiki newbie. I've written a script that generates an HTML file,
and then I upload it as an attachment to XWiki. When I create a link on
that file, and then click the link, I get the HTML file downloaded by the
browser, rather than displayed.
From what I've read, this may be caused either by something in my HTML or
by an XWiki setting.
In the HMTL, my headeer looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta
http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; c
harset=utf-8" /><h1 align=center>NITS Solutions AWS Server
List</h1><style>table
, th, td { border: 2px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;
}</style></head>
My undedrstanding is that the 'text/html' should tell the browser to
display rather than download.
Also, in the xwiki.properties file, in the Attachment section, I found the
'attachment.download.whitelist' and 'attachment.download.blacklist', but
both were commented out, which I assume means this feature is disabled? I
even tried uncommenting the whitelist and making sure it contained
'text/html', and then bouncing, but it made no difference.
Can anyone offer me a clue? I just want my simple little document to
display rather than download.
Thanks,
-Mark
