IE likes to interpret files based on extension, rather than MIME type, as specified in Content-* response headers. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q258/4/52.asp I believe it is to cover over errors made by some server admins in configuring their servers. However to become compliant, one should fix the problem, NOT work around it.

I have a particular file that appears to have a .txt extension but is intentionally forced to an application/x-you-gotta-be-kidding (or similiar) MIME type. IE4 interprets it as HTML. IIRC IE5.5/Win asks you to save it to disk. : description: : IE doesn't recognize the extensions of files, which : may contain some html The opposite: it ignores the Content-Type and acts on the extension. -- Stephen Cope - http://sdc.org.nz/
