User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 I tried to access a security note from the freebsd web site. This is a text file with an .asc ending. Mozilla apparently considers this mime type "octet/stream", does not recognize this as a text file and offers me - to choose a helper application - do download it It should at least offer me a third alternative, namely "show it anyway" Moreover, when I choose notepad.exe as a helper application, this doesn't work as well (somthing flickers, but no notepad appears). Maybe the proxy I use (a Cacheflow cache) is somehow involved; Unfortunately I lack the opportunity to test it without a proxy. Here's an out put from the proxy: wefa@tnd37 18:58 [~] telnet <whatever> 8000 Trying <whatever>... Connected to <whatever> Escape character is '^]'. HEAD ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02:23.stdio.as c HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 200 OK Connection: close Last-Modified: Sun, 30 Jul 2002 18:16:37 GMT Content-Length: 6667 Content-Type: octet/stream Via: 1.0 <cache-name> Connection closed by foreign host.

in a current build, we do show that file as a textfile... That said, bug 185618 is the bug for allowing to view supported files in the browser *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 185618 ***
