325895 - Add MIME type mapping for dmg files to stage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Mark Mentovai]

Before certifying a Camino build as release-worthy, we download it from stage (since it hasn't hit the mirrors yet) to test it.  stage is giving back a bad MIME type, text/plain, causing the file's contents to be displayed in the browser.  The correct MIME type for disk images (dmg) is application/x-apple-diskimage.  See bug 318199.  text/plain is undeniably wrong.  stage has a root-level .htaccess file that defines the correect mapping so mirrors that respect it will provide the proper type, but stage itself is not reading this file.  Apache on stage should either be configured to respect the .htaccess file or it should have the MIME types added to httpd.conf.

curl -s -I http://stage.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/releases/Camino-1.0rc1.dmg | grep Content-Type
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Apache config is going to be a server ops thing.

Add an "AllowOverride FileInfo" to the stage.mozilla.org vhost config (which should make it honor the .htaccess file).

I also added the smg filetype to archive.mozilla.org while I was in there.
