Why do SSI's not show up on Netscape Browser

[brichr]

My Apache server side includes work fine with IE but whe you look at the pages through Netscape Browser all that you see is HTML text.

Can some explain this to me or tell me how I can enable them for Netscape either on the client side or on the Server side.

SSI is parsed on the server side. client should not matter.

Can you give us an example url? What kind of 'text' is showing up in Netscape? Is it the text of the page you included or is the actual include tag?

More info please.

sounds like your sending 'text/plain' when you need to be sending 'text/html'.

The web page that will not display in Netscape is

http://www.novoco.com/NMTC/index.shtml

The whole page shows up as HTML source code.

The only odd thing I see is a mismatch in charsets

Header says
Content-Type: text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1251

Meta tag says:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

Dunno if that would do it, I have never seen such a problem. Note that 12-51 is Cyrillic..

it's your mime type.

Check out the Apache faq above - it tells you how to set the type to text/html.

Your sending it as text/plain - which IE will still render, but Mozilla/compliant browsers will treat as plain text.

Must be a user-agent thing. Mozilla gets plain and Lynx gets plain but a generic telnet gets text/html

Check your user-agent mime types as manarth suggests.

Manarth you are the man. Thanks for the help
