Custom MIME Type major issues

D

Dave

So, I have some simple asp code to send a response to the client with a
particular ContentType defined, code shown below:


Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "application/x-custom"
Response.Write "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><testing/>"
Response.Flush

I have a client side ActiveX control implementing IPersistMoniker that is
registered to handle this MIME type. This seems to work fine on some
machines and not others. On some of my machines, the control is not
instantiated at all. Instead, a blank page is shown in the browser. If I
change the ContentType above to something like "text/xml", the response is
shown correctly in the browser. This leads me to believe there is a problem
with the client mime handler, but it seems to work on most machines. Does
anyone have any insight into this? I've been stumped for quite a while now
and would really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Dave
