Details

(I think you can get this error from almost any page at http://www.businessweek.com/ but since its an advertising link it comes and goes depending upon when the rent is due. :) The URL is thought my Mozilla to be some sort of wierd file in need of downloading. the URL is passed to my FTP helper app for processing..
The url in question sends no content-type header.... I suspect that the filename is being recognized by the OS as something to download.
So this isn't a Mozilla bug ... ?
Dale, the ad server was probably misconfigured, sending those documents as application/octet-stream. Are you still encountering the problem?
