[freenet-support] IE6/XP SP2 may no longer treat text/plain as ambiguous?

[toad]

Somebody with XP SP2 and IE6, please visit the below site, and tell me
if it redirects you to fbi.gov:

Thanks.

[1] below suggests that it may not. If so, we can drop the warning about
IE not honouring MIME types (for HTML) ... unfortunately, there is RSS
to worry about instead! So please check that too:

Click on the RSS feed. If you have a recent version of Freenet, this
will produce a warning page. Click on "open the file as plain text";
does it open the RSS feed as RSS, or does it show it as text? Same with
"force your browser to save it to disk" and "open the file as RSS"
please.

On my sandbox box I use for such testing, it does redirect to fbi.gov.

- save as plain text, does nothing.
- force download wants to save it as a text file, and
- open as RSS splats it out as unformatted RSS
