I fear this one will be a PITA to solve.
For now, a workaround is to use Firefox.
[Techie stuff below]
Few observations:
- downloads work well with Firefox
- downloads work well using http://gis.csr.av
- the server always generates files
So, it looks like it's a bug with aggressive cache done by Chrome, and might be triggered by Angular bootstrap.

A workaround with Chrome is to force a refresh with "Shift + refresh".

It's all due to service workers, part of WPA: https://angular.io/guide/service-worker-getting-started
For obscure reason (maybe related to #7379), there seems to be a file https://gis.auroville.org.in/ngsw-worker.js, and the configuration https://gis.auroville.org.in/ngsw.json. If exact, deleting these would probably solve the issue.
Service workers are probably a nice idea, but it'll need a lot of fine tuning for gisaf.

Download of shapefiles should be fixed now.
[tech details below:]
Indeed, there were probably some artifacts of #7379 on the server:
root@gisaf2:/usr/local/lib/gisaf_src/gisaf-app# mv dist/ dist.bak root@gisaf2:/usr/local/lib/gisaf_src/gisaf-app# cd dist.bak root@gisaf2:/usr/local/lib/gisaf_src/gisaf-app/dist.bak# ll ngsw* -rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 176584 Jan 14 10:02 ngsw.json -rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 137658 Jan 14 10:02 ngsw-worker.js
Pushed clean version of the ng build:
~/g/gisaf-app$ rsync -a dist root@gis2.csr.av:/usr/local/lib/gisaf_src/gisaf-app
