Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:10 marco]:
 > We can probably play with that. It's quite an hack but I can't think of
 particularly bad side effects. We will have to figure out if the mozilla
 mime interfaces allow us to do it though...

 It's what IE has done for years. There, file extensions always take
 priority.

 This makes sense anyway. The server is unlikely to have all the client-
 side things installed, and thus unlikely to have a correct MIME databse.

 Unknown MIME types are a related problem for firefox/gecko/mozilla. When
 the server returns something like application/x-language-fortran, the
 browser stupidly refuses to display the text.
