I have a generated SVG file which for some reason won't open in Adobe Illustrator when I serve the file content from my ASP.net application, but if I were to write this generated file directly to the file system from my ASP.net application, the file opens fine!
I've put a zip of the two files here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1761973/Files.zip
The zip has two files:
- Map.svg
- Test.svg
Map.svg doesn't open in Illustrator, it shows up a Text Import Options dialog, and upon clicking OK, will show the XML content of the file.
Test.svg opens fine in Illustrator.
Doing a comparison of the two files yields NO DIFFERENCES whatsoever!
There must be something different in these two files (caused by downloading the generated SVG from the web browser), but I have no idea what?

One has an .svg extension, and the other is .SVG. Could be as simple as that.
