I'd heard the same thing, but my testing proved otherwise.  This is using 
either mod_perl directly or CGI module (under Netscape Enterprise or 
Apache).  My URL was something like /foo/bar/search.cgi?query=blah,  and it 
returned XML data, which IE reliably displayed.  NS behavior depended on 
the app configuration.

It might be helpful to submit the request via telnet and see exactly what 
headers are coming back. After the web server (typically) gets the last 
word on the headers.

take it easy,
Charlie
