Firefox displays an interface for RSS instead of the XML of the feed. For example goto: http://www.alistapart.com/site/rss

For some reason this feed is showing the XML in Firefox instead of the interface:
http://www.mmpa.net/feeds/upcoming-events.rss

The xml and Content-Type headers are the same. Anyone see what I am missing? What’s the difference?

Thanks

    Figured it out!

    Firefox doesn’t handle the RSS feed correctly if its compressed. (It seems, that is what my tests show but I haven’t found anyone taking about it.)

    Our apache installation is configured to gzip responses. One of the headers was:

    Content-Encoding: gzip
    

    I turned off apache module and it now works!
