Hi

How could one get rid of IE6 habit to change downloaded file extensions? (I
suspect it's not a programmer's error but is meant to be a "feature"). For
example it changes *.stw (OpenOffice template) to *.zip. Yes, stw is also a
zip archive but I don't see any reason to change the extension. Even if
server sends zip mime type with it.

And is it possible for web developer to avoid this renaming? Some HTTP
headers?

thanks in advance!

I haven't ever heard about that. IE doesn't change file extensions for me.
Can you tell a web site which I could try?
