uploading an svg file

Hi, I am using an xwiki (version 0.9.840<http://dubpat01:8080/dulles/bin/view/Main/WebHome>). My database is mysql running on Linux. I have a strange problem where when I upload an svg file and then reference the .svg file in an <object/> tag, the browser Firefox 2.0+, isn't able to display the image. Rather it asks for an external application to deal with the file. This is not a problem with the browser since I can view other .svg files. Interestingly, if I save the .svg file by right-clicking and saving to my local disk and then point my browser at my local disk it can view the .svg file no problem. So I am guessing that their is something strange about the way the xwiki returns the bytes to the browser....anyone experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks.
