Chrome automatically download local file - google-chrome

I want to view the markdown file in my Chrome browser; however when I open the local markdown file it download the file in my local directory. However, I tried with TXT file and browser address location looks - file:///C:/ that works fine though. The same approach like TXT file does not work for markdown file.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciate. Thank you !

Chrome will not support the all content type it will support only some specified content type. If you want to show the file into your browser you need to set the headers.
Here is the GITHUB Block how they show all files

When I try to open .html file in chrome it ocassionally open repository

it divide my html file on 2 different files 1)is repository 2)is just some loading page
same error with pdf files but it divides on 3 files
It works in Firefox.
Google Chrome is set to be my main browser.
Maybe the version of chrome that you use don't support what you're doing but its just my random guess , you can try to use live server of some IDE like VScode and see if the problem persist.

How do I host an mhtml file on a webserver?

I want to just be able to get people to go a link to an mhtml file hosted on a server and be able to see the fully formatted webpage that you'll see when you save the file and open it in Google Chrome (Apparently IE works as well, Firefox and Microsoft Edge do not work). How do I go about doing that?
Might as well post this as an answer for whomever else gets this problem.
Upon renaming the mhtml file to an mht file, and Extractmht can be used to convert the file to an html file, which can then be hosted.
[2022 Edit]:
Alternatively, open the mhtml file in Chrome/Firefox and use an extension like Singlefile to download it as a proper html page.

Open Jpg in morzila firefox using jsp link dynamicaly generated for image

How to open jpeg in jsp file using Mozila Firefox? It works in IE but can't run in Firefox by passing it's scr tag dynamicaly
It will say E:\stxavier\docs\7.jpg
e not protocol error
and without generate dynamic content it will see path like
e|\stxavier\docs\7.jpg
So I can't understand that meaning I also use this thing but my other link to pdf or avi file is lost
To link to a local file, like "E:\stxavier\docs\7.jpg" you should prepend the local path with "file:///".("file:///e:/stxavier/docs/7.jpg")
But even if you do this Firefox and Opera sometimes DO NOT ALLOW links to the local file system.
Sometimes it will work sometimes it will not, you just can not relly on links to local files.

how to show open/save dialog when linking to pdf files

I'm trying to link a pdf document from a static html file.
What I'm using is:
My pdf File
the open/save dialog comes up in firefox but not in IE7 or IE8.
I believe I have to change the MIME type but I don't know where to change it...
Since it works in Firefox I assume the file is actually there and accessible. In that case it depends on the browser settings how the download is handled. It might be that the download happens in the background because you setup that it should automatically download everything into a predefined folder (e.g. My Downloads/).
Check the IE settings to see where it puts downloads and check the folder to see if downloaded the file.
