HTML in the repository displays as text in Firefox
We have a subversion repository (on Linux) with some very simple HTML
pages. The pages display fine when browsed to in IE (6) but in Firefox (1.5)
they appear as text. I tried playing around with the mime-type settings on
particular files, but that didn't help. I couldn't find any information
searching the web or the Subversion site. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Tasha

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the tip. I had tried the following before to no avail:
svn propset svn:mime-type "text/html" *.html
This time it worked perfectly and I can browse the repository html pages
with Firefox.
Thanks! Tasha

Firefox decides how to handle pages served to it based on the
content-type HTTP header, whereas IE usually guesses based on the
filename extension.
Set the svn:mime-type property to text/html on these HTML files and
all will be well. This is a good habit to get into anyway - I try to
mark every file I can in my repositories with the appropriate
mime-type. It's extra metadata that costs almost nothing but can be
valuable down the line.
