Summary: IE views ok, Netscape gets html code seen

Initial Comment:
After installing lxr on a linux mandrake 9.1 machine,
everything works just fine if I view the ident, source,
etc 'pages' from M$ Internet Explorer.

However, galeon, mozilla, and netscape all seem to
prefer to show you the actual html rather than the
result of interpreting that same html.

Strange discovery we made is that, using galeon we can
save the file and load that saved file and it renders
correctly!  If that's not strange enough, we downloaded
the url using wget and it rendered fine on the first
try.

Is there some kind of timing issue with NS that IE
doesn't have???

Weird...

rc aka n7ikq.

The most likely explanation is that the webserver is
returning the contents as text/plain rather than text/html.
 IE (incorrectly) interprets such text as html anyway,
whereas Netscape/Mozilla don't.

The lxr code does put out a content-type header, so it
should work, but perhaps Apache is configured in a weird way.

You can use wget -S to check what is being returned in the
headers.
