Works fine: see e.g. 
http://www.123aspx.com/Directory.aspx?dir=145
(first google hit on "aspx")

Well, those webmasters better learn how to configure their webserver properly. 
It seems the pages were only tested with IE. The reported mimtype is simply 
wrong. In IE, extensions seem to take precedence over mimetpypes, but this is 
broken. So please ask the webmasters to fix their server.
