I wouldn't think that was true. The average server defaults to sending files as plain text for any resource it doesn't understand. I don't believe that setting an HTTP-EQUIV would work if the file is binary (program/audio/video) and the server sends that as text. New MIME types should be easy to add to any server. I know that it only takes a couple of minutes on Netscape Enterprise Servers. Lynn lynn.alford@jcu.edu.au | More of your conversation would infect lalford@nyx.net | my brain.
