how to handle application/octetstream html document in netscape

[balakrishnan.dinesh]

hi friends,
Im using netscape browser ,in my html page, there are many
links are there to many pages, For some links its going well, but for
some pages its showing a dialog box like
" The 'filename.htm' of type application/octet-stream (html
document),and netscape does not know how to handle it "

So please tell me , what i have to do for opening the those same pages
in the netscape browser itself.

-Is there anything to be change in the browser setting or anything to
be done in those html pages

Thank U
Dinesh

As an amateur, all I know is that "application/octet-stream" usually
signifies a binary file. As far as I am aware, HTML pages are not
themselves a binary format, so my guesses are:-

(a) the file named "filename.htm" is really a binary file wrongly
named,
(b) the file is a normal html file, but you have the Content-Type
wrongly set. See: <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html>.
