Default MIME type for .EZ files?

Seems it has everything to do with file type .EZ since
every other extension works just fine. If I simply change
the coil505.EZ extension to coil505.bin and leave the file
just as it is, everything works fine. Try it for yourself.

The server is reporting that the .EZ file cannot be found even
though it actually exists on the server. It's the Microsoft
server that has the problem. The Linux server works just
fine. Apparently, the Microsoft server doesn't recognize
.EZ as a valid file type. If I ZIP the .EZ file, it also
handles it just fine.


Coming in late on this one again. The question was raised about Windows
vs linux servers. Like just about anything Windows based, there is
"always something" requiring a big workaround, or even if it is something
that the server *will* handle, there is always something that you have to
do to get it to work right.
