http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14095 Change default Content-Type (DefaultType) in default config ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-01-13 22:05 ------- Quoting an earlier comment... "application/octet-stream will allow the user agent to save the file or prompt the user to make a decision, while application/x-unknown-content-type will allow the user agent to actually sniff at the data and try to figure out what it is." is entirely wrong w.r.t. Microsoft IE. IE has the irritating distinction of treating BOTH text/plain and also application/octet-stream as content type '*', parsing the data for some possible meaning. This causes IE to succumb to all sorts of mallicious purposes and undesirable side-effects of file naming. (e.g. refusing to simply display a nice text/plain result of a result uri named 'test.pl', but instead insisting it aught to be locally executed or saved.) I agree with the spirit of the proposal, that our default become application/octet-stream until such time as we provide *no* content-type whatsoever if the user has left it unconfigured. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
