http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23902 Add .dmg to application/octet-stream in mime.types Summary: Add .dmg to application/octet-stream in mime.types Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: HEAD Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please consider altering the application/octet-stream configuration in mime.types to: application/octet-stream bin dms lha lzh exe class so dll dmg "dmg" files are Apple Disk Images. This is the prefered application packaging format for all Mac OS X application distributions. Presently Apache defaults to serving these files with the mime type text/plain, which causes browsers to display these binary files in the browser window instead of prompting to save to disk. Server administrators that need to serve these files have to manualy add dmg to their configurations, and those whose sites are hosted by third parties have all the hassle of trying to change the config of a server they don't control (though I appreciate an AddType directive in .htaccess is a partial solution). This issue annoys millions of Mac users, it would be great to see dmg added to the default Apache setup. Should I open a seperate bug against httpd 2.0 or is this enough to get the issue looked at for both? I can make patches if it would help, but it seems like overkill for such a trivial issue - just let me know. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
