opening ascii text file without an extension in browser

tgopal

I am Using window.open method to open a file.The file has no extension
and the content of the file is pure text.
If i try to open that form browser's file/open the
content of the file is shown with the proper formatting.
But when i am trying to open that file in side my application
using Apache Tomcat the formatting is lost.i also tried the document.open()
method to set mime type but it doesn't seem to be working.
The files are created by an background process so i can't give an extension
Is there any way to get this working?
(i am using WINDOWS 2000 and IE6)

Can it be that your end of line breaks are
in stead of
?
In other words: On a unix machine when typing a linebreak(enter) a a carrier return and linebreak mark are inserted in your text
on a windows machine you only place a linebreak
This can result in different output formatting.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Try uploading it binary instead of ASCII or the other way around
