Well, you dont use an extension, which is the most simple method to
tell the server what MIME type to send to the client.
So you get the default MIME type, which is text/plain or something like
that, safari is so clever to add the proper extension ".txt" for this
MIME type-.
You must (!) know the MIME type for Vectorworks drawings, if there is
one, or invent something new, put that into apaches mime.types file
and into safari.
The secrets of MIME...
Most funky aspect of the net next to email.
Bellcore!
