The detail pages for objects are re served with bad http headers which causes
them to be rendered as text files. Basically the html source is shown. Example:
http://lib.povray.org/collection/roundedge/cousin%20ricky%201.3/roundedge.html

The cause seems to be this line in the http header:
    "Content-Type: text/plain"
Which should instead be
    "Content-Type: text/html"
as is the case with all other pages on povray.org

This is how it looks for me:

I will say: It is known, and was done on purpose to fight spam-bot.

The html file is rendered fine when looking at the local file, but not
on the server.

As stated already (2014-09-03), it's a shame, and would Internet be a
nicer place it wouldn't be so.

My best hint, but not a fix : have a look at

I don't understand how returning a content-type of text/plain instead
of text/html helps fighting any spam-bots.

Well... it turn the html injection into useless text, disabling links
the spammer wanted to add. (might be tied to robot, search engine and
references for scoring)

That's my understanding, I came after such change, I did not suggest it.

Anyway, I cannot change that.
