Please help as I am ripping out my hair. Thanks in > advance and I apologize if this is off-topic. I would try to add .dxf MIME settings to your web server configuration, ie # apache.cfg AddType image/vnd.dxf dxf DXF If this fails, you can write a script which sends the header explicitly, ie header("Content-type: image/vnd.dxf"); and then does a binary pass-through of the file contents. Some versions of Internet Explorer may still ignore the content-type directive, depending on the extension; see http://www.mail-archive.com/modperl@apache.org/msg33618.html HTH
