I'm talking about the server's behaviour itself, not about circumventing 
the effects this behaviour (like using a proxy that changes the 
Content-Type header or whatever).
If you can come up with a generally applicable way how I, just by 
fiddling around with my local machine, can manipulate other people's 
servers, please tell me. I'd be very interested.

I have seen this more than once too. Nevertheless it's irrelevant in 
this case, since there's no "file extension" in http://www.xplanner.org/ 
which Internet Exploder could use for it's "we don't care for standards 
- it's the extension which tells what type a file has in Windows and 
therefore the same must be true on the internet" way of content type 
"detection".

I'd be surprised if it did.
