The problem is normally not the server - Windows-based and Unix-based servers behave approximately the same. The problem isn't even client OS related. If you create a text/plain file with html content, all browsers should show this as text and should show all the tags all over. All browsers except Microsoft Internet Explorer do that - one except is the KDE environment, where it chooses to launch an ascii editor instead of a browser display when it finds out that it isn't text/html. Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the other hand, auto-detects the contents of the file and shows it as a web-page, directly in violation of the web standards and the intention of the web server operator. I made an example that can be seen here: download.dybdahl.dk These browsers work: - Mozilla (Gecko based) - Netscape 6.x (Gecko based) - Galeon (Gecko based) - K-Meleon (Gecko based) - Nautilus (Gecko based) - Netscape 4.x and earlier - Konqueror - Lynx These browsers are broken and display the page incorrectly: - Microsoft Internet Explorer - Opera 6 Lars.
