Bug #11841 Updated: MSIE tries to download file when you hit domain alias

ID: 11841 User Update by: anrkngl@lowmagnet.org Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating system: LNX 2.2.19 Slack PHP Version: 4.0.6 Description: MSIE tries to download file when you hit domain alias I'm using MSIE 5.5. Opera 5.11 works fine with the document, as does lynx. It appears that the way my site is set up, hitting http://www.lowmagnet.org will not suffice. Is there a workaround? perhaps a redirect like the below: httpd.conf: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.shtml index.html: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.lowmagnet.org/index.php"> Would work. I just don't like kludges such as these. If only IE would listen to the mimetype. But still, why is this happening only on my system? I'm going to run a recording in loadrunner to see if it can pull across the headers..

However, this can't be no problem with PHP I think.

When I hit my site with its "www." alias (from DNS level) IE tries to download the file. I'm not certain why it would do this, because most other browsers handle this correctly. My mime.types file: text/html html htm php My httpd.conf: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.shtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps My PHP.ini: default_mimetype = "text/html" Like I said, if you point at a specific directory under either DNS registry, no worries. If you point to the root on the www. spec, it doesn't seem to send the right mimetype. I figure if it's working everywhere but that one place it's probably config. I just want to eliminate suspects. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11841
