I believe that Camino does not use the file extension to determine the type of the file, instead it uses MIME type given by the webserver. If the webserver incorrectly specifies that a .gz file is of type HTML, then Camino will attempt to display it as HTML. So I think the bug is in the webserver, not the browser. Unfortunately the webserver authors have little incentive to fix the bug, because Internet Explorer ignores MIME types and uses file extensions and so Internet Explorer users are not affected by it. -- Richard _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
