Bug#119462: www.debian.org: ftp.debian.org (HTTP-Port): Wrong content type for .diff.gz's
Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-13
Severity: normal
I really don't know if I should report this to www.debian.org or
ftp.debian.org, but here is it anyways:
The HTTP server that's running on ftp.debian.org (Apache/1.3.20 (Unix)
PHP/4.0.6) doesn't recongize *.diff.gz of being of type text/plain.
Instead, it states that they are of type application/x-gzip, which is
not completely unreasonably, but has the drawback that diffs can't be
viewed with most browsers. non-us.debian.org (Apache/1.3.9 (Unix)
Debian/GNU PHP/4.0.3pl1) does this right: It sends Content-Type: text/plain
and Content-Encoding: x-gzip.
To try it for yourself: Click on the "Source Code/diff" link on any
package description page of packages.debian.org (except non-us ones).
