Bug Description

Using nautilus 2.10.0 I browse a webdav share. On this share the following file
is seen:
data_daily_2005mrt18_1525.tar.bz2.enc_aa.iso
According to the picture (a box with text: tar) it' s a tar archive. But in
reality it's an iso file. I want to burn it directly to CD from the share.
But nautilus won't let me.
If I copy this file to the desktop. It still has the same filename but now
nautilus recognizes it as an iso (picture is a sheet of paper, a cd and the
text: iso).
and lets me burn it to disk.
I think this is inconsistent.
Let me know if you need a screenshot that shows the problem. (can't seem to
attach it to this bugreport).
