What is more likely happening is the server doesn't have it in its mime.types file (or the equivalent) and the appropiate type is not being sent to the browser.

Browsers that do this are seriously broken. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
