Bug#565626: apache2.2-common: incorrect Content-Type and/or Content-Encoding based on file extension
The basic problem here is that, conceptually if not physically, gzipping
a file does _not_ change its type, and .gz files should not be handled
as a separate mime type at all. See the top of /etc/mime.types.
The .gz.gpg case may or may not be a problem, but following the
suggestion in mime.conf and enabling the AddEncoding directives _instead
of_ (not in addition to!) the AddType directives definitely yields a
configuration that is somewhat closer to sanity. Without that,
firefox/iceweasel for one will royally screw up .txt.gz or .html.gz
files. Try it.
