I don't think that is correct, according to standards:  The MIME type for SVG is "image/svg+xml" (see XML Media Types [RFC3023]). I don't mean that the type of the SVG file should be text/plain, I say that it is; it should be what you say. dutch_flyer_2013_02/flyer_vertaling.txt seems to be ISO8859-1 and is displayed with UTF-8. Funny, it's usually the other way round (UTF-8 displayed as Latin).  Upload txt in UTF-8. Fortunately UTF8 covers the same codepoints as the characters in  ISO-8859-1 but not the other ISO-8859-x sets, so in this case it probably will not be a problem.     Since there is no entry in the props list(it's not really a prop anyway) , I think UTF8 is the server default for text files, you are correct about the file type, checking the file signature confirms: glenn@byte-consult:~/svn/dutch_flyer_2013_02$ file flyer_vertaling.txt flyer_vertaling.txt: ISO-8859 English text, with CRLF line terminators No, displaying an ISO-8859-1 encoded file as if it were UTF-8 encoded gives a wrong display. é (e-acute) ISO 8859-1 : E9   (invalid under UTF-8 decoding) UTF-8 :  C3A9      (displays as é under ISO-8859-1 decoding) That's because UTF-8 uses the two high order bits as flags. To have no problems, use UTF-8 everywhere. I still think that Apache is not doing its .ext->mimetype job, there, but it may be a user config pb. What do you mean exactly ? that Apache indicated text/plain when transmitting the .SVG file; same for other files. Cheers, André.
