Ken,

Unfortunately, the last server that did this (earlier today) is not under my
control and I cannot reproduce the results.  However, the admin that was
troubleshooting before they called me was smart enough to make a simple
test.  They created a simple text file that contained nothing but "Hello,
world."  Nothing fancy, no script, no anything.

With a .htm extension it worked as expected.  When the file was changed to
.asp and the URL was changed to match, we got back the "Server Application
Error":

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the
processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail
information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We'll check the IWAM account probably tomorrow and see if that's the
problem.

A big thank you to everybody who has pondered this issue for me.
