How often does this happen? I wasn't able to reproduce it.

Comment 2

[Alexandre Calixto]

Occured with me some times... Some times does, some doesn't! What could it be?

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

I've seen servers in the past which, when under heavy load or otherwise malfunctioning, cause their pages to download instead of display.  I don't know if there's a bug in some server software that when under high loads, they don't send the right content-type: header (or fail to send it at all)?

Comment 4

[Stuart Morgan]

Yeah, it certainly sounds like a server content-type problem...

Comment 5

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Absent any evidence to the contrary, I think we can close this INVALID, since it's very unlikely to be an issue with Camino. (This same sort of thing has happened recently on MySpace, too, and that was confirmed to be a server problem.)
