Description Petr Hrebejk 2000-06-28 15:38:17 UTC 
This bug prevent the users browsing HTML files of Usersguide as all the files
have .htm extension instead of .html
Comment 1 support 2000-08-22 08:28:59 UTC 
To allow support for "*.htm" files (which are bogus names, IMHO), added
    AddType text/html .htm
to httpd.conf.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2000-08-22 10:22:59 UTC 
This is not fixed because although the extensions may have been fixed in the
webserver conf, the source browser does not know about them (and I think the
issue is with the source browser, not regular web pages). For example:

http://usersguide.netbeans.org/source/browse/~checkout~/usersguide/javahelp/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/appd18.htm

This URL displays the file as plain text. It should show HTML (as it does if you
append ?content-type=text/html to the URL), but the source browsing script does
not recognize the MIME type correctly. I'm not sure if source browse URLs for
the usersguide are currently being linked to or not.

BTW I agree that *.htm is not a desirable extension, however that is what
typical Windows-based apps like the one that created the usersguide generate, so
we have to live with it and treat it as text/html.

Can the source browse script be made to share MIME type configuration with the
general site webserver?
Comment 3 Unknown 2001-01-30 22:21:59 UTC 
Isn't this the intent for source browsing?
When I browse HTML source code, I expect to see the source code to the HTML,
not the interpreted page.  Is this not the way that source browsing is
supposed to work?
Comment 4 Unknown 2001-01-30 23:50:59 UTC 
Got it.  HTML displays interpreted but HTM displays as text. Bummer. Looking
into it.
Comment 5 Unknown 2001-01-31 05:40:59 UTC 
I believe that this has been resolved -- this was done by making it use the
mime.types which is referenced by httpd.conf.  I'm marking it fixed -- if it is,
please mark it closed ... otherwise, please reopen.

The link shown below doesn't work -- apparently because this file is now in the
Attic.  But other files I tested (eg. xml files) now offer the possibility of
download w/ the content type specified in mime.types.

If you see any problems, please let me know.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2001-01-31 11:31:59 UTC 
Cannot verify the fix due to #9313.
Comment 7 Marian Mirilovic 2009-11-08 02:26:36 UTC 
We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
