Content-Negotiation test please

Hi folks,

I would be extremely grateful if one or two folks here could click on
the following link, and tell me what happens. The link should force a
download of "doom19s.zip" - Yes it is a copy of the original Doom 1
Shareware - for testing purposes only!

If your browser doesn't attempt a download, or fails to download
properly, I really need to know about it. I've had complaints from users
using various browsers on Windows NT 5.x, but I can't replicate the
problem locally.

TIA

I didnt try it, but I can imagine that if you named the resource a .zip
then IE will behave as expected. I think you will finds that this
fixes the issue.
