When you have a good software that does what it is meant to do and have
no bugs, the beginning of lots of troubles is when you decide to
"improve" it with useless "functionalities".
I don't disagree with any of that, but neither do I think it really
addresses the point.
As I understand it web servers are typically configured to serve
responses with headers that describe the content's MIME type, allowing
the browser to decide how to present it (render in a tab, launch an
application, offer a File Save dialog). That's not useless funtionality,
it's a standard feature of web servers - without it you would never have
web pages rendered in your browser, you'd have to download the pages and
then open them.
The line I quoted from the documentation implies (to me, at least) that
this is the expected behaviour when clicking on a link while browsing
backups. I'm not asking for it to be added as a feature, I'm asking:
1) Am I correct in thinking that this is what the documentation means?
2) If yes, can anyone suggest where I should look to see what I have
configured wrongly?
3) If no, what does the documentation mean?
You have just been excommunicated by the Apache foundation.
The machine running BackupPC has other stuff that is built on Nginx, and
I really don't want a second web server on it. I run Apache everywhere
else, so the Foundation will probably cut me a little slack.
