Hi, I'm not sure if theiis has been answered, but I'll do my best.
My suspicion is that we are using an HTTP/1.0 server.. which basically
means that the mime type has to be translated at the server end.
Our server doesn't recognuiize the ctb mime type, and so it sends
it as what it seems it. When you use file://localhost, then the "server"
you are using is Mosaic, which recognizes the mime type.
I would suggest sending ... ermm.. actually, it would help
if you described what this mime type does..
If I am correct (which is not a guarantee, since if there server doesn';t
recognize a mime type it might still allow rthe client to decide,, I'm
not very familiar with HTTP/1.0) then there might be another solution,
but If I am right, then if this is important, the maintainers
might adopt the mime type.
(or again.. I could be speweing a lot of garabbage.. wait for a web maintainer
who can check this up to answer).
