That's exactly the behavior I'd like to see.  Can you just clarify
whether you see one or two download links.  I only see one, and clicking
download gets me the whole multipart/appledouble MIME file composed of the
application/applefile resource fork part and the
application/octet-stream data fork part.

Are you by any chance seeing two download links?  (One for each of
those two components of the multipart/appledouble MIME file).  From your
message it sounds like you only see one download link and that clicking
it gets you *only* the application/octet-stream data fork part.  Is that
true?
