problem with Internet Explorer

[ghassenrachid]

function export_shp(){
	var tab_markers = export_map();
		var options = {
			types: {
				point: 'points',
				polygon: 'polygons',
				line: 'pipes'
			}
		}
		shpwrite.download({
        	type: 'FeatureCollection',
        	features: tab_markers
    	}, options);	
}

my code work with chrome and firefox but when i use internet explorer the browser ask me if i want to allow the website to open an application on my computer
when i allow it say "there is no application installed that can open this type of link (data)"

i think that the problem is when IE execute the MIME type application/zip

module.exports = function(gj, options) {
    var content = zip(gj, options);
    location.href = 'data:application/zip;base64,' + content;
};

i tried to use another MIME type from msdn.microsoft.com like application/x-zip-compressed but i have the same problem with IE

For IE, there could be avantage to put the binary into a blob and use the navigator.msSaveBlob() function

This has been fixed in the latest tag (v0.4.0). Will be released on npm soon.

Good news: v0.4.2 is now available.

Less good news: Mapbox changed their deployment organization so this package is now hosted under a different package
