Q: 

Weird ASP.NET MVC Home route behavior

Wondering if anyone has come across the following:

I have an ASP.NET MVC (v2) site.
If I hit /Home/Index, the home page is served correctly.
If I hit /Home/, the home page is served correctly.

If I hit /Home, the home page is served correctly UNLESS I'm using Internet Explorer, in which case I get a File Download dialog box wanting me to download a file called 'Home', which ends up being a horrible binary file (about 4kB).

Any ideas?
