alrighty, i've retested again. same results.
each time prior to requesting the .txt file i cleared the cache of the
browser just to be sure.
header chunk generated by Tomcat 4.1 for a .txt file:
HTTP/1.1 200
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:22:39 GMT
ETag: W/"1706-1120587147968"
Last-Modified: Tue, 05 Jul 2005 18:12:27 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 1706
header chunk generated by Tomcat 5.5 for a .txt file:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
ETag: W/"1706-1120666790014"

as the above shows, Tomcat 5.5 did not product the "Content-Type:
text/plain" when it served back the .txt file to the browser.
i also checked the Tomcat 5.5's conf/web.xml file and the mime mapping
for txt files is there.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>txt</extension>
<mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
i will enter this to Bugzilla then. i'm guessing this is not likely to
be a Tomcat 5.5 configuration issue although i'm not 100% sure.
thanks to everyone who helped on this!
