Hi,
When we access wikipedia.org using any of English, Francais, Portugues, Espanol or Nederlands (other
langauges seem to be file), we receive an error message along with a file download (rather than the
wikipedia web page):
File Download - Security Warning
Do you want to save this file?
Name: Main_Page
Type: Unknown File Type
From: en.wikipedia.org
Our Firewall is set to allow only 'safe' content types (i.e. standard ones plus any that I have added).
It therefore blocks any web pages that have no content types or unknown ones.
I mention this as our firewall (A Watchguard Firebox x1000) reports a Duplicate Content-Type header
found.
I have added the content types:
application/xml
application/xhtml
application/xhtml+xml
But the error continues. Occasionally the page appears but clicking any links provokes the error message
for another file / folder.
I have a rule which allows me to circumnavigate the restrictions (i.e no content type or surfcontrol
checking) and wikipedia is then fine.
Please let me know if there is a special content type etc you use recently, as our college opens soon
and wikipedia is a frequently hit site.
Kind regards,
Andy
