Summary:	Default content type for *.xml in CVS browser is application/beep+

Description Jesse Glick 2002-12-10 16:48:07 UTC

Go to the URL above. My browser (Linux Moz 1.2.1)
will prompt you to save a file "of type Extensible
Markup Language (application/beep+)". What on
earth is that MIME type?

Adding "&content-type=text/xml" makes the URL
display correctly - under Mozilla, should show a
page "An XML Filesystem..." (using an XSL stylesheet).

wget confirms the weirdo MIME type mapping:

wget --header='Cache-control: no-cache' -S -O -
'http://contrib.netbeans.org/unbranded-source/browse/~checkout~/contrib/calpane/src/org/netbeans/modules/calpanehtml/layer.xml?rev=1.1&content-type=text/xml'
2>&1 | fgrep -i content-type

Hi Jesse,

Update: i can confirm the problem with cvsweb recognition of
content-type regarding .xml.

Action plan: i'll file an interanal issue for that to our engineers.
In the meantime i found this rfc dealing with application/beep+

http://www.spectrum-worldresearch.com/relevance/projects/rfc/delivery/reliable/messages/november/attribute/collector/rfc3195.txt.delivery.html

I hope it means more to you than it does to me.

next update: upon anwer from our engineer

updating whiteboard with internal tracking number.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2002-12-11 22:00:28 UTC

So there's some weird RFC that happens to use XML files.... not a good
reason to map *.xml to application/beep+ for the webserver, I guess!
Must be mistakenly picking up a mime types DB from somewhere
inappropriate.

hi Jesse,

Update: our engineers just fixed this problem which was caused by:
bug in getMimeTypeFromSuffix() in cvsweb.

action plan: ask Jesse to verify

next update: will close upon confirmation

Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2002-12-12 20:28:07 UTC

Looks to be fixed, yes. Thanks!

Comment 6 jveres 2002-12-12 20:34:07 UTC
