I have an epub file on my server, and it was recently mirrored by someone else's server. Both servers run apache2. When I access the file on my server, Firefox 6 begins to download it as a file. When I access the file on the other server, it starts showing up in the browser window as gobbledee-gook.
The response headers from the servers are as follow:
