278995 - fix mime type of .ico files on update

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task, P2)

Description

I guess adding the following line in httpd.conf will do the trick:

  AddType image/png .ico

Added ico to PNG mime type in /etc/mime.types on iguana.

Fast fix ever?

Comment 3

Why not add this as an AddType directive in the virtualhost block?  That way
it'll survive moving the domain name to a different server at some point in the
future.

.ico is supposed to be a Windows icon file anyway.  The fact that people throw
pngs in it and most browsers still work with it is just a bonus. :)

Was something not working with it, or did you only want that so you could view
it manually?

Well, it was showing up as text/plain.  Dunno why it wasn't served as an icon in
the first place.

There is a chance that this might be it. I tried to see if there already was a
/favicon.ico and there was one, only served up as text/plain. (No request for
download by the way as with the favicon file on mozilla.org although that one
seems to be served up as text/plain as well.)

Done.
