MSIE has the nasty habit of ignoring MIME types and preferring file
extensions in *some* situations. Last time I dealt with it - admittedly
some time ago - it was rather inconsistent about when it relied on file
extension and when it used MIME type.
IIRC I solve it with a MIME content-disposition: attachment header, but
that was some time ago, pre-glassfish for me.
