Our Windows application registers the filetype ".xyz" so that doubleclicking
in Windows automatically starts our app and opens the data file within our
app. This all works great using Windows...
The filetype is an XML-based text file and not a binary file which seems to
cause problems when trying to use a Browser to open the file. If we create a
link in a Browser to the file "test.xyz" it displays the XML text within the
browser instead of starting our application and displaying the file.
We have experimented with setting "Content Type" but nothing seems to tell
the browser that filetype ".xyz" is associated with our app. It consistently
displays the XML text in the browser.
Is there a way to tell the browser that the file in a link is associated
with our app? In the registry perhaps. We would prefer not to have to tell
each user to set this on the server side of things.
Thanks!
