Well I think that last part means your mime stuff ( the types file ) is then 
completely ignored
by apache.

I'd guess IE reads the file as it's coming in, and figures out it's content 
type.

Is your script sending a Content-type: in the header?  I'm betting it's being 
defaulted
to text/plain by either Apache or Firefox.

but it's fine in IE...


also the link returns a dynamically generated gif file so there's no gif 
extension

anyhow when i load in firefox, i get strange binary data that is shown as text, 
while in ie it shows the image perfectly fine.

is this an apache configuration problem or is it something else? i looked at the mime magic file that my httpd.conf file is pointing to and it has this line:

# GIF
0    string        GIF        image/gif

i'm not very familiar with MIME stuff... so any simple or trivial (to you) 
suggestion would be great... thanks.
