I saw the text/plain MIME Content-Type using wget and I observed the exact same behavior in Galeon, Mozilla, Netscape, Konqueror, links, and lynx. Each browser attempted to display the template data file within the browser window. That is to be expected since the server said that the data was text. working in a remote X session, the attempt to display the data as text would consistently crash my X server. The data should be marked with the correct MIME type to ensure proper handling at the client. That's what MIME types are for. It's a *server* misconfiguration. The shift+left-click does get the data, but it uses the wrong filename. Honestly, I did not try that method because I assumed it did the same thing as right-click, then Download Link. Linux users can download the data then rename the file, but it's still a workaround. Fixing the MIME configuration on the web server is the real solution. Tony - -- Anthony E.
