Why is Firefox prompting to download a file that is POST'd to?
- by alex
This is the most peculiar thing.
It is from an old in house CMS.
When I attempt to submit my changes, it prompts to save the file linked in the action attribute of the form.

Response
HTTP/0.9 200 OK
And then Firefox shows....
I can't determine from the response headers as to why this is prompting to open/save. It has always worked. All other PHP files on the site work fine.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks
Update
Apparently, it just crashes Safari.
