Do Downloads use HTTP?

What kind of file will show up in my browser?
Image files like jpg, png, gif etc. will almost always show in the browser. Archive files like zip, tar, gzip etc. will always be downloaded. Some file types show up in some browsers but not others depending on if the browser can read the file or not.
What kind of browser will download Microsoft Word?
For example, Internet Explorer (IE) will usually try to show Microsoft Word files (doc and docx) in the browser, while most other browsers will download it. Google Chrome has its own PDF converter and it will try to convert a PDF file and render it in the browser.
Scroll down to Browser File Handling, and choose Permissive instead of strict. SharePoint will no longer send the X-Download-Options header, and Explorer 8+ will then not be able to block the opening of the file directly in the browser.
