Problem accessing web application

[Hans van de Laar]

I'm running a web application from within a Windows 2003 standard edition
server. However if one of the clients (running XP-prof) is accessing the
application by requesting its default page the client browser wants to
downlad the requested page. If the same page is requested from another (XP)
client, the content is well written the the client browser. What is causing
the download behaviour of this specific configuration?

Thanks

Is this user accessing \\server\share\file.asp, as opposed to http://...?
The requests must be made via http for IIS to execute the ASP file and
return the html response.

Ray,

No I start the application by using http://<server_name>/<virtual_dir>

You are, but is that user?

Do you have any REsponse.ContentType set to something that the user doesn't
have installed, like Word or Excel or something like that?

Ray,

I have experienced this myself.

I don't have set the response.contenttype to something the user doesn't know
(at least not that I'm aware of). There are no problems accessing the
intranet web application from other clients/configurations.

regards,
Hans
