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?
