Stop IE8 from opening or downloading a text/plain MIME type
I'm dynamically generating a text file in PHP, so it has a .php extension but a text/plain MIME type. All browsers display the file as nicely preformatted text, except IE8. Googling tells me that they've added security where if the HTTP header content type doesn't match the expected content type (I think based on the extension and some sniffing) then it forces the file to be downloaded. In my case I have to open it, and also give it permission to open the file I just told it open! That's probably a Win7 annoyance though. Serving a static plain text file works fine, of course. So can I stop IE8
