Click on the link and it seems to think it is a JPEG image. Why doesn't it just show it?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://svn.natalian.org/projects/svn/compare-diff.jpg
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Unknown file format helper comes up.

Expected Results:  
Image to be displayed inline. This happens on Opera9.

The last line is the important one - your server is saying that the file is an application and not an image. Firefox follows these Content-Types much more closely than IE or Opera does. So you need to fix/complain-about the server configuration.

Have you heard of "Being liberal about what you receive"?.

Or perhaps that the content type is dead?

Are you telling me your would rather ask a user what to do when opening a "JPEG" file?
