Steve notes the interface here doesn't support .LDR. I am wondering, if the
server can pass a .ldr or .mpd (or .dat) file to the computer, instead of
the 'ldraw.cgi' file. I think that would make life easier?

Let me know if I'm way off base here - but I seem to remember this being
brought up before too.

I think you're pretty close.  The server isn't actually reporting 'ldraw.cgi'
anywhere -- that's just the script name in the URL.  Here's what the server

   Content-type: application/x-ldraw
   Content-disposition: attachment;filename="lugnet.cad.dat.models_1812.dat"

In other words, now it auto-detects the filename that's embedded in the LDraw
data (by looking for a '0 Name' line) and sends this back to the browser
instead.

Does that make the problem go away or is it still there?

Todd - This is an old topic, and I came across it cause I was browsing for models posted on the groups. It brings up a concern of mine - the CAD DAT groups and file associations/extensions in Windows. I'm a bit rusty on MIME-types in Win2K, cause I (...)
