Sorry for the cross post, but this one touches on many angles:


I have a CAB file on a WebSphere instance that get's viewed as garbage
when I browse to it.

When I browse to the CAB from Internet Explorer on my laptop, it
recognizes it as a known type and tries to download open/save the
file. I get the same function from a PocketPC when trying to browse
to a CAB file hosted on IIS, but with WebSphere, I get this garbage.
We know we need to alter the MIME type, but we have some questions
about what settings are required.

This post speaks of a potential solution, but we ran into difficulties
in setting it up.

Thanks - a

The post you refer to is correct. You server needs to be configured to serve
..cab files as MIME type application/octet-stream
This question unfortunately needs to be asked in WebSphere NGs, unless
someone here by accident is familiar with that server.
