Hi! I tried to use LWP::MediaTypes for determing the mime-type of various files I offer as downloads and which are sent through a cgi script.
My problem is: The function guess_media_type() within list context returns Content-Type "text/plain" and Content-Encoding "x-hqx" for files with suffix 'hqx' (with I found is directly implemented in MediaTypes.pm). Instead I would prefer the function to return Content-Type "application/mac-binhex40" for files with that suffix so that Netscape browsers running on windows do not show the files as text but offer you to save them to disk. Is there any reason, why the Content-Encoding ist prefered to the Content-Type in function guess_media_type()? My solution now is to comment out the line with the Content-Encoding "x-hqx" in MediaTypes.pm to make it return the correct Content-Type. Is there a better way?
