273049 - use appropriate MIME types

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 118677

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

mozilla.org should use correct MIME types for RDF and XML files and not rely on
the bugs of Mozilla products.

For example, the 'text/xml' MIME type defaults to UTF-8 in Mozilla even though
it should default to US-ASCII. 'application/xml' doesn't have this problem.
Also, RDF files should use 'application/rdf+xml' and not 'text/xml'.

I propose adding the following lines (other lines might need to be removed or
replaced) to httpd.conf or the root .htaccess, though the latter would be a less
optimal solution it would probably work cross-mirror.

 AddType application/xml .xml
 AddType application/rdf+xml .rdf

If these things take time, we might want to add the MIME type for Atom files as
well:

 AddType application/atom+xml .atom
