[racket] help packaging .plt file

Ok, this must be related to the webserver somehow.

I put the .plt file on another host (which runs a dokuwiki), and installing from there works. 

Is that a known problem with some server configuration? maybe the server does not deal with .plt extension properly... (in dokuwiki, I could configure that .plt is treated as an app and forces download).

This does not happen with other .plt files I install manually. (I'm on mac os, these .plt get installed in ~/Library/Racket/5.2/collects)
