Hey guys. Does anyone know what the default HTTP mime type is. I think its application/octet-stream but im not 100%. If your not sure what im rabbiting on about I mean what mime type would be specified for a random file type (like 'default.hello') for example. Thanks, Mart. |

| I mean if the client is requesting a file that is unknown to the server... Like if requesting an ASP file on a non ASP compatible server, what mime type does it specify? |

if a server doesn't know how to process it send the asp file in raw text... and since your computer doesn't know how to display them it give you a download box for and ASP file... ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |
