Bug 176888

Description Darryl Miles

2007-03-10 05:45:14 EST

Build ID: Eclipse.org Website

Steps To Reproduce:

This line of the response is incorrect:
 Content-Type: application/zip

A better suggestion would be text/plain which would allow users of Mozilla to view the contents within the browser (rather then be offered to open with the ZIP archive opener, which then complains with an error due to it being a corrupt ZIP file).

There are other similar places where a bad MIME type selection is given out by the website server:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/R-1.2.3_jem-200701301117/compilelogs/plugins/org.eclipse.jem.util_1.2.1.v20060918_M/@dot.bin.log

Wants to be applicaiton/octet-stream when test/plain would be better for *.log

This is exactly the same problem we had with .php.jar files in bug 148879, so whatever we did to fix that one, we need to repeat for .zip.md5.

The default Apache configs use the equivalent of a simple .zip regexp instead of a better .zip$ which would prevent this from happening in the first place.

Note to self -- unlike with bug 148879 we won't need to ping our mirror sites to update their mime types - md5 checksums should only be fetched from download.eclipse.org.

Moving to Apache

                                            ^^^^^^^^^^

That typo wants to be "text/plain".

I've updated our mime-types, and below is the new mime-type for *.md5 files.  It will take some time for this to replicate to the entire cluster, but by tomorrow all should be well.  Thanks for reporting this.

Moving all these to Servers.
