Because somewhere on your system there is a mapping:

   application/x-ldraw  ->  .DAT

or perhaps there is a pair of mappings

   application/x-ldraw  <->  LDLITE.EXE
   .DAT                 <->  LDLITE.EXE

and the browser is treating them as transitive...?

To be sure, there is no code on the server sending out a .dat filename.  It
only sends:

   Content-type: application/x-ldraw

then regurgitates the data.
