Fiddler autoresponder sets Content-Type:application/octet-stream on HTML-files

[bjorn.a...@admeta.com]

Hi!

Disclaimer: This is probably user error. But I'm stuck and need help.

After having used Fiddler successfully for years, Fiddler suddenly sets the Content-Type to application/octet-stream when using the autoresponder on HTML-files.

For instance:

EXACT:www.fakedomain.com/test.html
c:\test\test.html

I get the file in c:\test\test.html fine, but the browser wants to download the file instead of showing it in the browser window.

Can't figure out what I have messed up and can't really tell when exactly this happened. I use the autoresponder regularly on JavaScript files which works just fine, but this I do more seldom.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Fiddler uses the system's registry to map between file extensions and Content-Types. It sounds like something has corrupted your system's registry to break the registration for HTML.

 

Using RegEdit, open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html and to the right of that key, you should see a REG_SZ named Content Type with the value text/html
