I am not using mod_mime_magic. There are entries in mime.types for application/x-compress and application/x-gzip but neither one has any extensions listed for them. Question 1: why are the extensions missing from mime.types? Question 2: why are the two kinds getting different results? (I didn't check source code for this). When I put AddType application/x-compress Z AddType application/x-gzip gz in my .conf file then the tar.Z files get the correct type but the tar.gz files still show application/octet-stream. Question 3: why the difference? >How-To-Repeat:
