>Number: 2286 >Category: config >Synopsis: Distributed mime.types lacks mapping for widely used Shockwave >Flash (.swf) >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Tue May 26 11:50:00 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3b6 >Environment: All >Description: An oversite in the mime.types file that comes with Apache makes all Macromedia ShockWave Flash animations (application/x-shockwave-flash) come across as text/plain (or whatever your default MIME type is). As a result, most browsers fail to load the appropriate plug-in to handle it. >How-To-Repeat: Any default installation will pass swf files as text/plain >Fix: Add
application/x-shockwave-flash swf to the mime.types file in the distribution. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
