Description

[G-Man]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

When I use gmail for domains, the url is:
https://mail.google.com/hosted/amcenglish.com

It views the ending .com as an ms-dos extension that needs to be downloaded. This is a hit and miss affair, if I click on it enough times, the page eventually shows up.




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the site
2. or try to view a page from inside the gmail interface
3. I don't know

Actual Results:  
Promtps me to save as ms-dos extension. 

Expected Results:  
I expect it to pull up the page.
