http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22580 msi, wmv, wma, asx, asf, rar, dmg file extensions not known in mime.types file ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-02-20 06:16 ------- The MSDN lists the following : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp .asf video/x-ms-asf .asx video/x-ms-asf .wma audio/x-ms-wma .wax audio/x-ms-wax .wmv video/x-ms-wmv .wvx video/x-ms-wvx .wm video/x-ms-wm .wmx video/x-ms-wmx .wmz application/x-ms-wmz .wmd application/x-ms-wmd Not listing those files in the default apache (both 1.x and 2.x) configuration files leads to a lot of problems with standard-compliant browsers like Mozilla because Mozilla innocently believes what's sent in http-header. Because MS IE doesn't adhere to the HTTP standard (that http header has the ultimate authority in the type determination) and relies on 'MIME type sniffing' and file extensions, a number of ignorant web masters fail to add them. What I'm writting here isn't likely to convince Apache developers to add non-IANA-registered MIME types however widely they may be used. So, I'm now thinkining as to how to add them to the IANA registry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
