CF7 - Garbage Returning in Browser

Hi all.

I'm getting a site that every now and then (randomly) it doesn't seem to interpret the site request properly, and ends up dumping out a bunch of garbage characters to the screen.

As I mentioned, this happens sporadically, so I'm unsure what the issue is or how to debug it.

Has anyone here ran into this or knows where I might be able to look to fix this?

I've attached a snapshot of what is being returned.

Thanks.

    Looks like you're asking the web server for a file that it doesn't have a MIME type for.  What kind of file/page are you requesting when this happens?

    Hmmm... whoops! Actually for this instance (not normally the case) it's an htm page (as opposed to a CFM). So it's not a ColdFusion issue apparently. Sorry about that! I just assumed it was a CFM page (which is what is normally done in my development group).

    Thanks for your insight. I probably never would have bothered to checkthe extension. Yikes!!!
