IE pukes on my page

January 3, 2006 7:20 PM

My main page opens fine in Safari and Firefox for Win and Mac, but acts like I am trying to download a file in IE. Any suggestions?

I'm not near an IE-equipped machine at the moment, but it sounds like a problem with your MIME type.

Yep, your server is sending back a bad Content-Type header - here's a raw HTTP session:

Nics-PowerBook:~ % telnet www.spartacusroosevelt.com 80
Trying 82.165.193.250...
Connected to www.spartacusroosevelt.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Then it returns your home page, which looks fine. The problem is that last response header, which should have "text/html" between the colon and semicolon. Something's wrong in your Apache or PHP setup.
