I can also download files ending in .exe, .zip and so on, and are correctly reported as application/x-msdos-executable etc. as per the /etc/mime.types file.
However, if I attempt to look at a file ending in .gz, it does not get reported as a GZIP file. (Originally, I had no entry in the /etc/mime-types file, but since adding in application/gzip gz it still fails). Since the default transfer is for 'binary' I am suprised that the FTP proxy is reporting it as 'text/plain' in its report. >How-To-Repeat: 1) Make a GZIP file 2) look at it through mod_proxy on vi an FTP server >Fix: Have the default mod_proxy transfer type report it as application/octet-stream instead of text/plain for types that aren't registered? >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 make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
