This was one of the best and most thorough explanations I have seen of this
problem. :-)
To add one more suggestion, there is another method that can trick IE into
behaving properly, though this method is a bit less reliable.

As Richard pointed out, the issue is that IE does not properly implement HTTP
and uses file extensions rather than the Content-Type header to determine the
content type. It is very annoying and has caused problems for Web developers
for years.
Hope that helps.
