This is what I don't understand: "User agents use media types to determine whether a specific format is supported and how the content should be processed. " Why can't files just be used as files? I guess I just don't understand--at all. A file isn't a file unless there's something on the server to tell it that it's a certain type of file? Why is that necessary? It goes right over my head, and since I really don't understand what I'd be asking the host, I'm going to have to refrain until I do understand. "Yes, I'm calling because I want you to change the mime type to be correct. No, I don't really know what that means, but I need you to do it." That's alright. Thanks for the help.
