Jonathan Marsh commented on MASHUP-72:
--------------------------------------

This is the normal response of IE to a file of type application/javascript (which is the correct media type.)

This is somewhat annoying though - perhaps we can do something to moderate the pain:

1) we can add a "media-type" parameter to the ? processor to serve things up as a different media type.  E.g.

http://localhost:9762/services/version?stub&media-type=text/plain

This may be useful for all ? resources.

2) we could browser sniff and set the media type (incorrectly) to text/plain for IE.  (I find this rather distasteful.)

> ?stub does not show the stub code when issuing the url through IE 7. Instead it tries to download the file in to local machine. Note that the pop-up blockers were disabled while testing this.
> Steps to reproduce:
> ================
> 1. Enter ?stub url in IE 7 browser.
> 2. 'File Download' message box appears.
