why can't it wrap the response in
Content-type: text/plain
...response...
until you get a better idea of what you can do
alternatively you could return each line of response as part of an xml
format
Content-type: text/xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet ...?>
<response>
<line>....</line>
...
</response>
mozilla will be happy, if given a simple xsl
ie has to be fooled by calling the script "something".xml
never really understood why ie doesn't believe mime headings, they seem
like optional extras.
