Yeah, I ran into a very related problem many moons ago and discovered that IE 
frequently ignores the mime-type.
The solution I used was to append a filename, with the correct extension, to
the url. The script knows to ignore the last path_info component, but it
makes IE very happy.  Actually it makes most browsers pretty happy.
