Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[ericf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041115 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu) (Ubuntu package 1.0-2ubuntu2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041115 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu) (Ubuntu package 1.0-2ubuntu2)

When clicking the link at the bottom left of
http://www.vpro.nl/wetenschap/index.shtml?3626936+2848322+2897441+3502225 (the
lowest link), firefox asks how to open this file. It's just a html file! I first
thought it's because of the .htm?blabla file suffix, but
http://atlas.et.tudelft.nl/1200348/pub/bugs/test.htm?blah opens just fine. Is it
because the server www.vpro.nl gives a wrong MIME header? Should this be fixed
in firefox? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://www.vpro.nl/wetenschap/index.shtml?3626936+2848322+2897441+3502225
2. click the bottom left results
3. see the "open with" window.

Actual Results:  
Firefox gives an "open with" window.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should immediately display the file on-line.

see Header 7 : this works as expected, the server asks Mozilla that this
document should be saved instead of be handled by the client

-> invalid
