for Netscape
Netscape is just a browser. It doesn;t affect the protocols used, which
are the sane for all browsers.
But yes, there is a difference between HTTP and FTP; FTP does not provide
a MIME type. So the client has to guess from the filename.

That should be application/x-dvi not /xdvi
Fine, but there is no MIME type being sent so you need a .mime.types
file to tell the client how to guess MIME types from filenames. Create
one containing this line:
application/x-dvi dvi
