I've scoured the web looking for this and haven't found anything. Our corporate website -- -- was recently moved to a Windows 2003 server. The minute that happened we've had problems with it, most which have been fixed on the server side. I was made aware of an issue last week from a customer that while browsing to the site with Mozilla, the user gets a message saying Mozilla wants to download an application/octet-stream file and gives a choice between viewing it or downloading it. This file is simply the index.html code. Mozilla won't/can't read this file correctly. This behavior occurs in Netscape as well. The site works fine with IE, and all the .asp pages work fine in all browsers. It's just the index.html site that has trouble. I have this site on our test server internally (running Windows NT Server) and I don't get this behavior from either browser. Page is coded as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" standards. Instinct tells me this is a Windows 2003 issue but I want to be sure. Any hints or clues would be appreciated to help troubleshoot this.

Thanks,
J. F. Gonzalez

I looked into this and all indications tell me its what you said...the host has their server configured incorrectly. I just contacted them about this so we'll see how fast they get moving to correct it.

Thanks!
