Except IIS sends application/octet-stream, which is not sniffed by UAs (except when embedded via <object>/<embed>, which is another fun kettle of fish). So at least the user gets to download the file (which is often enough what they want anyway) instead of having gibberish render. But yes, it would be nice to change IIS too. ;) That said, could you point to the comment you're looking at here? Your link was just to the bug itself.... -Boris
