When I click on the link

   <a href="foo.udda" type="application/x-udda">foo</a>

Firefox 3.6.8 displays the file's contents as text rather than asking me how to process the file.

How do I associate an application with the mime-type?

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 Linux i686 (x86_64) with the NoScript 1.10 extension.

The server needs to send the correct MIME type, you can't specify it that way.

I'm confused and hope you'll humor me. Why can't the mime-type of a link target be specified using the "type" attribute of the link element? Am I misinterpreting the description of that attribute http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.2? If not, then do all browsers ignore this attribute?
