Well I think that last part means your mime stuff ( the types file ) is then completely ignored by apache. I'd guess IE reads the file as it's coming in, and figures out it's content type. Is your script sending a Content-type: in the header? I'm betting it's being defaulted to text/plain by either Apache or Firefox. -ds----- Original Message ----- From: "Edric" <ehankamo@xxxxxxxxx>
