Netscape is really picky about the HTTP content-type headers when read from
a server, and IE tends to ignore the content-type headers if there is HTML
in the file. Using Telnet to try and get parts_x902.html I found that the
browser first gets a "Document has moved" response pointing to
http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/detail/parts_x902 (this explains
the .html disappearing). When the real file is retrieved the HTTP headers
are shown as:

The content-type header tells NS that this is plain text, therefore NS
ignores HTML tags. IE sees HTML in the file and renders it anyway.
I believe that this is caused by the Apache server not having a mapping to
treat all files with no extension as HTML (this is normal). The problem is
that the files don't have .html extensions, there is a redirection happening
instead to map the .html URL to the file with no extension. If the files
themselves could be given the .html extension everything would be fixed :)

| (...) That sounds cool and reasonable, except that (AFAIK) the files *do* have .html extensions, there are no redirects involved. See, I'll just login to the server, and cd to the unofficial/parts dir, and do an ls -l, and you'll see that all the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
