4.3 has been backburnered here for a while, so still on 4.2.3.  Just
found that IE (7) gives me the "Do you want to run or save" popup for
"Client Data", i.e. bb-hostsvc.sh.  It works fine in Firefox, and all
of the other cgi-bin stuff works fine in both.  bb-hostsvc.sh is 755
like all the other scripts.  Was this a known issue?  Patched?
Blame IE, I'm afraid - it should look at the content-type returned before
asking what to do with the data.

It works here (4.3.6 + IE 8), but I don't have a 4.2.x system to test it
with.

Thanks.  I guess MS is trying to make up for the older versions of IE that
fixed broken pages by having later versions break correct ones.

I mapped my Portable Xming onto a jump box, can ssh out and run FFox on
the Xymon server.
