I set up an apache2 + mongrel clusters.

Everything is working fine except that IE Explorer when I try to see a  
page of my site it tries to download it instead of showing it.  
Firefox and Safari are working fine, I have also checked the content  
type in the headers sent by the server and they are correctly set to  
“text/html”.  
The url the application is serving are without any extension e.g.  
“[http://myserver/page](http://myserver/page)”.

I guess that there is a problem with content-type setting but I can’t  
really realize what I have to configure and why it’s happening only in  
IE.

Any idea?
