Hi,
I contacted RT about this issue and I thought they would forward my feedback
to Cal, since I didn't know if Cal was still around (been busy on a rebol

best,
Chris

because the series is empty... hence cannot do first... but I may be
wrong... the not empty? only checks for request... but it has already crash

5.5 the mime-type is not set properly and the browser ask to download the
html file instead of displaying it !!! adding the following in the
content-type list seems to do the trick but it's not consistent with the
default-type declaration which is then initiated for nothing :
