I'm placing some AppleScript files up on a hosted web server, and it seems
that no matter how I do it, the result from the web browser is always
displaying the file as a text file (or as a few junk characters if the file
is a compiled script). I know that several of you have sites with AppleScript
files out there -- how are you tagging them as 'download on open' rather than
'display on open' for the sake of the browser (.bin, .hqx, .osas?)? I'd
prefer them to download without any compression in usage because of their
small size...

My experience indicates:

hqx - best, almost never fails
sit, bin, zip, disk images - next best, rarely fail
plain ol' compiled script - works occasionally but most likely to fail
