Microsoft, Internet Explorer, 6 and 7, Security Warning on file download, file type unknown

Asked by jguharaman in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Web Browsers, Java Servlets

Tags: Microsoft, Internet Explorer, 6 and 7, Security Warning on file download, file type unknown

We have a program which has a provision for streaming a file from the FTP server.

The file is streamed with Java. For some files, the mime type is unknown, hence streamed as mime type="application/x-binary"

The same servlet works fine on IE6 SP1 on Windows 2000. It gives four buttons - Open, Save, Cancel, and More Info

In IE6 SP2, Windows XP, it gives a security warning.

Do you Want to save this file ?

Name: StreamingServlet
Type: Unknown File Type
Form: the url of the site
[save] [cancel] buttons                    --------- The open button is missing, which is the problem

The warning message is that While files from the internet can be useful, this type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust this source do not save this software

How can I get the SP2 version on XP to behave the same way as IE 6 SP1 version on Windows 2000. This is very important. Can someone help in this please ?
