Netscape Navigator 4.x returns an index.htm page as plain text from /docs directory, but the exact same page works under NCSA httpd v1.5.2a on an AIX 4.2 system, and on the same Linux/Apache system in a /test directory. Permissions are identical on both Apache server HTML files and directories. Fully specifying the page as /docs/index.htm in the URL also returns the web page properly. MSIE and Lynx do not exhibit this problem; the page returns as text/html. I've checked BrowserMatch, AddType, and other configuration entries, but have not found a configuration error that explains this behavior. >How-To-Repeat: Compare Apache 1.2.5/Netscape Navigator 4.0x results for http://perigee.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/, http://perigee.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/index.htm, and http://perigee.ncdc.noaa.gov/test/. The NCSA server is at http://www2.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/. This is an auto-forwarding page (meta expire tag) after five seconds. The page links in the Apache /test directory are broken. >Fix: No. Either this is a very obscure bug, or a strange configuration error. Your assistance would be appreciated! I added 'BrowserMatch "^Mozilla/[2-4]" force-response-1.0' in httpd.conf just in case this was a 1.1 compatibility issue, but the problem remains.
