Forced Download not functioning in Safari

    Hello,

    I am seeking help to resolve an issue that seems to only happening with Apple devices.

    I have set-up a WooCommerce store using a child of the 2016 theme.

    WordPress 4.6.1 and WooCommerce 2.6.7

    Development URL: http://108.179.226.195/~weewidevoice/

    We are selling digital downloads – MP3 and PDF

    WooCommerce Settings
    Products > Downloadable Products
    File Download Method = Force Downloads
    Access Restriction – Downloads require login is unchecked
    – Grant access to downloadable products after payment is checked

    Product Settings
    Simple Downloadable
    Download Type = Music

    Files are 12 Mb or less.

    Files are stored in a separate folder within the public folder.

    In this separate folder I have added an .htaccess file containing:
    <FilesMatch “\.(mp3|pdf)$”>
    ForceType application/octet-stream
    Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>

    When I place and pay for an order, I get an email containing links to the files I purchased.

    From a PC or Android device, the files are downloaded when I click on a file link.
    The file URL is protected.

    From an iPod or IPad, the files appear or play in the Safari browser and do not download.
    The file URL is not protected – full path appears in browser address bar.

    What do I have to do, so the files download regardless of the device used and the download URLs are protected?

    Thank you,

    Kent Tubman
