I wouldn't be too surprised if it were. There's a lot of silly assumptions made about MIME, servers, and dumb configurations. I don't mean you, unless you created the tomcat/alfresco packages yourself, but those that set up these things. In the webserving world, it's quite typical to serve out garbage in the hope that the client can sort it all out for itself. Or for a server system to presume that the admin is going to configure special MIME types, themselves. It might also depend on what you're meant to see in the browser. A plug in to show that type of data in the browser window, or the server pre-converting it to HTML so it just works. > I can't perform your suggestion without disabling authentication > because it won't allow that to work without signing on first. There are some plug-ins for Firefox which allow you to see the HTTP headers, though I don't know if they're reliable. e.g. Some web browsers will tell you that something is a particular MIME type because that's what they *think* it is, not what the server said it was. Depending on the type of authentication, you can put that into a Lynx query (you'd have to read its docs to see if it supported a scheme that your server makes use of). Or, for the true glutton for punishment, you can try everything by telnet. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
