(Isn't that metaphor getting kinda stale?)
It's OK o use associations if the server doesn't send file types; it's not OK
to ignore the file types that the server send.
Extensions are for dancers.
I (and I suspect the previous poster) were using the expanded .zip archive,
newly available. Zip has little facility to store MIME Content-types. I
readily
created a MacOS association that opens Adobe Reader when I click on
index.pdx. We don't know how to educate (some) browsers to that association.
Is there a published Content-type for .pdx?
Is that index.pdx accessible via HTTP, or only by extraction from the .zip?
If the former, what does IBM's HTTPD supply as Content-type?
The trend among browsers is to become increasingly dumb about MIME
headers and to rely more on filename extensions or even guessing from
content.
