User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; pt) Opera 8.53
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.6

The web server is sending html pages as text/plain. 
Therefore only works for IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.vibrantlife.co.uk/
2. Click the "how to order" link on the top

Actual Results:  
The page's source code is displayed

Expected Results:  
The html code should be parsed and page rendered.

Confirming. Joao, you should tell them their server is misconfigured.

EVANGELISM BUG UPDATE

I receive a "Cannot Find Server" error message when I try to access the problem website (http://www.vibrantlife.co.uk/) with FF3/OSX, Safari4/OSX, and IE6/XP.  I attempted to access the website from multiple ISP networks to ensure error was not isolated to a specific ISP network.  DNS for this website is broken.

DOMAIN WHOIS: http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?query=vibrantlife.co.uk
DNS SERVERS: ns0.abel.net.uk, ns1.abel.net.uk

When I query the DNS servers directly for "www.vibrantlife.co.uk", I receive a SERVFAIL result, meaning neither server can resolve this hostname.  While it is possible that this is a temporary error, it is more likely that this site is permanently closed.

Wait a while to see if website is down permanently, then close this bug?
