Details

URL produces a vCard object from an XML file. Mozilla treats this as type XML, going by the file extension rather than the HTTP header (which is correct).
worksforme with win2k build 20011011. I get a download dialog with [text/x-vcard] and wget also reports mime-Type : [text/x-vcard] Reporter: Which build are you using ? (Please include in all your bug reports the build ID)
Mozilla build is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 Incidentally, it did the same in 0.9.1
Also seeing this with 2001101021/Redhat 7.1. URL brings up a download dialog with [text/xml].

We don't determine the mime type from teh extention; we just display the mimetype from the extention if we couldn't match. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46655 ***
