Firefox does not render .asp page

[Shiva SG]

Hello,

We are testing a website, which has an index.asp page. Uploaded the
files on two different servers.

IE opens the index.asp page from both server locations.

But Firefox opens the page in location (A)

http://www.balaganesh.com/sample/index.asp

but does not open the same page from location (B)

http://guitarprasanna.com/Prasanna/index.asp

Instead Firefox displays the page code.

Note: For testing purpose images not uploaded on server (A).

What could be cause for this and the remedy? Can anyone throw some
light?

Regards,

Shiva

The B location (an Apache server) returns a Content-Type of text/plain,
which causes FF to render it as plain text. IE ignores that content
type and either recognises the asp extension or the html content and
displays it as a webpage.

Can Apache handle asp files? At least originally it's a Microsoft
technology! If you don't have "active content", rename the files so
that they use the ".html" extension (don't forget the links!), then
Apache will use the correct content type (text/html).
