MD5 mime issues on daedalus
Hi,
i know we have been fixing mime related issues in the 2.0 tree, so I am
not sure if this a config or code issue. I am receiving a Content-Encoding:
x-gzip headers while attempting to download MD5 checksum
files such as
<http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/apache_1.3.22.tar.gz.md5>
I am not experiencing this behavior for PGP signature files, so that would
lead me to believe this is a config issue. In light of the new release on
the 1.3 branch, this could bite a few people.
Cheers,

I would put in a
<Files *.md5$>
RemoveEncoding gz tgz Z
</Files>

# RFC 3156
AddType application/pgp-signature .asc
is correct (although it is already listed in the mimetypes file as
text/plain for some reason), but md5 isn't a pgp registered extension.
It isn't really related to pgp. I do not know of the correct mime type
for an md5 checksum file. Anyone?
Usually this would be used in a Content-MD5 header (RFC2616#14.15), which
we might want to add to the actual tarballs just as Content-Encoding.
Cheers,

Greg Ames,
<Files *.asc>
RemoveEncoding gz tgz Z
</Files>
should have included the pattern md5. Would explain this observation ;)
Appropriate content-types might be;
AddType application/pgp-signature md5 asc
or no?

I am not experiencing this with .asc files, just .md5.

That's part of the schema change (but this is 2.0.24, not HEAD).
I'd suggest we define .asc and .md5 with RemoveEncoding(s) to clear this up.
