why is the FAQ broken on mirror sites ?

[jason andrade <ja...@dstc.edu.au>]

hi,

someone asked me this a while ago and i think i raised it here
but didn't get an answer.  then i needed to look at the FAQ
myself and noticed i can't use it on my local mirror.. which
is a bit disappointing.

i can read the FAQ fine from httpd.apache.org, but trying
to read it locally only gives me:

Apache Server Frequently Asked Questions

$Revision: 1.147 $ ($Date: 2000/11/12 00:25:31 $) 

The latest version of this FAQ is always available from the main
Apache web site, at <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html>. 

If you are reading a text-only version of this FAQ, you may find
numbers enclosed in brackets (such as "[12]"). These refer to the
list of reference URLs to be found at the end of the document. 
These references do not appear, and are not needed, for the
hypertext version. 

The Questions

The Answers



that's a very very short FAQ..

I've tried having a dabble with trying to understand the HTML
code but with no success.

P.S What i was trying to find is what is needed to add to the
web server config to stop it auto decoding .gz/.bz/.iso etc
files when a browser attempts to download them.  i'd like a
"save as" box to pop up instead of gibberish in the browser..
