I have having a weird FireFox problem. In stead of FireFox parcing the

Hi Jamie,
Here's a follow up on the omnipod site.
Telnet to webclient2.omnipod.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: webclient2.omnipod.com
You will receive the following headers followed by the requested
document. Here are the supplied headers.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 20:27:39 GMT
Server: Apache
Last-Modified: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 15:33:48 GMT
ETag: "195e3-18eb-43147c5c"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 6379
Content-Type: text/plain
Now, look at the last header. It is not text/html, it is text/plain.
That is an express instruction to your browser to display the document
as received *without* any parsing. (Actually, I'd bet the browser wraps
the document in a <pre></pre> tag set so that the browser's style
settings are applied to its display.)
Firefox is doing exactly as requested. omnipod's webserver is
misconfigured. To wit, its index.html is delivered with a text/html
header, its index.shtml is not. The Apache webserver has directives
that control that, they're just not set (correctly).
Hope that explains that in enough detail.
(Hey, Omnipod!!!)
:m)
PS. didn't find any problem with spamcom.net
Thanks,
