However, I can answer this. The web server sets the type that is reported in the HTTP transfer conversation. That is, the "Content-Type: text/html" or whatever is done by the server. I wouldn't count on IE to "respect" that though -- for example, it is well-known that IE will scan the first few hundred bytes of GIFs and JPGs for HTML tags despite the files being specified by the server with the correct image types. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
