If I.E. is suggesting a ZIP content type then this means they've resorted to content sniffing and found the ZIP magic number in the file header. Usually a browser only resorts to this if every other attempt to determine the content type has failed, e.g., HTTP response headers, file name, etc. This is something that should be fixable. -Rob > > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
