Anyone know why IE 6 running on Windows XP won't handle a
response.contentType = "application/msword" properly. The
page just opens with an image that you can save as an
archive file rather than loading the page in word?


Thanks in Advance.

I'm not sure I understand. Is the content of the response really a Word
document, or is it an image incorrectly labeled with application/msword
MIME type? IE actually performs sniffing on the content, and makes its
decisions based both on the server-provided MIME type and the results of
content sniffing.
