Safari can download vCard file?

Ok so why can't safari on the iPhone download a vCard? I though that was the point of having a vCard for download on a mobile page…

Or when you scan a QR code and get sent directly to a vCard (also called a .vcf file) you can't download it. But yet when you get an email you can add it. When your using app you can add it?

It seems like a no brainer, but why has apple restricted safari from downloading this type of file?

MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 80g video ipod (black) 16g iPhone 3GS

Check out Stack Overflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1892373/iphone-how-to-get-safari-to-recognize -a-vcard and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1773876/how-to-add-a-contact-to-the-iphones-a ddress-book-from-a-web-page which is essentially my blog:

Plenty of information and demo app with downloadable source code plus hopefully Joomla and Wordpress plugins to follow.


Good luck.
