Description Richard Ishida 2012-02-06 06:24:04 UTC 
If I try to show the page http://w3c-test.org/framework/ in IE9 I get a message asking whether I want to open or save the page. If I say open, it tries to unzip it (and fails).

Sorry, that's a bug I introduced. I wanted to expose a JSON API atop the site's own pages, but it turns out that there's an IE-specific branch in the framework's JSON support that forces always sending JSON to IE. I've fixed this by pulling the plug on JSON support for those pages -- I'll make a special separate API page for that.

I forgot to add: this will be fixed online as soon as the server syncs itself with the committed code. It may take a few minutes and might not work at the second at which you see this bug being closed.

If this isn't working by now, it means the sync is off or failing, so if there's any problem with this still, please let me know so that I can check on it.
