Hi,

I'm a little rusty on this, but if I remember correctly most browsers
will first try to identify the content using the HTTP header and use
the HTTP body or even the file extension as second options. Some
browsers gave preference to file extension before body.

One way to find out what standard browser behavior 'should' be, is to
test against Internet Explorer and then do exactly the opposite ;-)

Cheers,
Jacobus
