Hi, looking at <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13986#c64>:
------- Comment #64 From Phil Ringnalda 2008-07-03 00:07:23 PST [reply] ------- While I don't have any real expectation of action coming from a comment on a resolved bug, I still want to mention that the fix for this bug did not fix this bug: it made it _possible_ to "remove default MIME-type" while ignoring the part of comment 55 about "a) remove DefaultType from the standard httpd.conf.in file," which still combines a text/plain default with simply awful advice about using text/plain "If your server contains mostly ... HTML documents."
It seems Phil is correct in that this issue shouldn't be closed until the default httpd.conf also is changed.
Furthermore, has backporting been considered? BR, Julian
