mime type of GetCapabilities response

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Daniel,

I am expecting application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml but I don't get it, at least
Firefox does not show, and it does with Geoserver/Deegree.

I get a download dialog with only a Save button and then get mapserv.exe
saved. The download dialog shows no content-type at all.

Best regards,
Bart
