Firefox 3.6.8 not honoring type=<mime-type> in hyperlink
When I click on the link
<a href="foo.udda" type="application/x-udda">foo</a>
Firefox 3.6.8 displays the file's contents as text rather than asking me how to process the file.
How do I associate an application with the mime-type?
I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 Linux i686 (x86_64) with the NoScript 1.10 extension.

The server needs to send the correct MIME type, you can't specify it that way.
See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
I'm confused and hope you'll humor me. Why can't the mime-type of a link target be specified using the "type" attribute of the link element? Am I misinterpreting the description of that attribute http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.2? If not, then do all browsers ignore this attribute?
