Comment IE ignores Content-Type header (Score 1) 157

Netscape and presumably other browsers respect the Content-Type header sent by the server, which is this case is text/plain. So Netscape downloads it as text, as instructed.

IE ignores the header and looks at the URL as if it were a filename with a n extension. If the extension is .html, it treats the file as html. If it doesn't understand an extension like .prc, it treats it as application/octet-stream.

Basically IE's non-compliant behaviour is masking a problem with the webserver's configuration. It's not really Netscape's fault. Point out the problem to the webmaster, and complain to Microsoft and the WSP.
