Hello,

I am using Drupal 4.6.6 and I have a weird problem with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP, as my website is not accessible with this configuration! Instead of showing the website, IE opens a file download window with the domain name.

Maybe you can see it yourself:

http://www.viasun.fr

(it should redirect on http://www.via-sun.com/ ; this is OK)

The website loads in Firefox but not in IE 6 on Windows XP. I tried on Windows 2000 and it works.

This is puzzling, do you have any idea? Is it a problem with paths?

Thank you!

Actually, it seems that URLs finishing with a / can load.

As I have i18n enabled, this means for example that http://www.via-sun.com/fr does not load in IE6/XP but http://www.via-sun.com/fr/ does!

Is it a .htaccess related issue as I have clean URLs enabled?

Have you fixed this already? IE6/XP has no troubles on it for me.

Ok thanks, this is the same version I am testing...

I tried saving the file and adding .gz at the end of the name. I could ungzip it and open it: it is the html source of the front page!

It looks like IE does not recognize the MIME type of the page sometimes.

I am wondering if it could be the proxy I need to use here to access the web?
