Anyone know if there is a bug reported on FB viewing the Index of a directory that doesn't contain any HTML files?
I stumbled on this one earlier today trying to access some of my web space where I store files for easy download when I need them.
To demonstrate this I setup a test folder and saved the opening.gif there... you can check it out by going to http://www.hawksnet.net/test
This results in a Mozilla Firebird does not know how to handle this file type error:
I tested this in all the latest releases I have, Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird... if I go back to Mozilla 1.4 release it works as it is supposed to. If in the latest releases of FB, I set FB to open this type of file it copies the directory list to c:\temp\random file name ie... file:///C:/TEMP/tra4yr8l-1 and opens it displaying the
Index of /test/

that's not quite the problem, but there is a bug.
your server is giving a horribly broken content type:
Server: NetWare-Enterprise-Web-Server/5.1
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 16:07:09 GMT
Content-type: text/html;

I actually used Samspade - http://www.samspade.org/t/
for Mozilla folks, a more usual tool that does something similar is http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/

Using that websniffer tool this is the output I get...
Server: NetWare-Enterprise-Web-Server/5.1CRLF
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 20:48:05 GMTCRLF
Location: http://www.hawksnet.net/test/CRLF
Content-length: 239CRLF
Content-type: text/htmlCRLF
Connection: closeCRLF
CRLF
So where is that broken content type coming from? Is there anything I can fix on that server?
Thanks...

strange - that's what it is supposed to be. I get a whole bunch of garbage on the end of the content type header.

It's coming from the server. I've no idea it's fixable or not. It should be, but I know nothing about Netscape web servers...
