And here's a quick way to make sure your server is pumping it out
properly:

if the file is at http://www.host.com/vrml/file.wrl, type the following

telnet www.host.com 80
HEAD /vrml/file.wrl HTTP/1.0
(two carriage returns)

and the server will spit back a bunch of information about the file (and
the server itself), one of which should be a Content-type: header.

This is also a good way to test if AddEncoding is working for gzipped
files. (That wasn't in this case, either)

I will be completely revamping the VRML home page on Wired in the next
few days.
