Frankie,

This is getting interesting because the link you provided wrapped in my
mail so I didn't get the ".txt" extension; however, dillo opened it up
as if it were HTML. Only after adding the .txt did dillo display the
source. Same with firebird.

I found in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf (line 121):

# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain

Is what I have; I wonder if yours has text/html?
