177224 - note XUL and RDF MIME types

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P3)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

We should note the XUL and RDF MIME types in the documentation and recommend
installations configure their web server to serve those kinds of files (f.e.
duplicates.xul, data/duplicates.rdf) with the appropriate type.

Matthew is still going to be around to help out, but Jake is taking over the
day-to-day front-line triage type stuff for Documentation

Jake is leaving for a while (Reserve unit got called up), and we don't have a
new docs owner yet.  Anyone interested in helping out, please add
[e-mail] to your watch list in your email preferences in Bugzilla.

What are the canonical MIME types for XUL and RDF? (RDF I'm sure I can find, but
I thought I'd ask about XUL here, since it's a Mozilla thing.)

Comment 4

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

From www.mozilla.org's httpd.conf file:

    AddType application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml .xul
    AddType text/xml .rdf

Attachment: Apache AddType docs

Here's a shot at describing what a user would need to do for Apache.

Hrm, I'm not entirely sure who to ask for review on this one... justdave, you
seemed to want to push in docs changes, want to look at this?
