Re: Magic File

[Ian Kluft <ik...@cisco.com>]

David -

The magic file for mod_mime_magic is part of the Apache distribution.
(Cisco contributed the module to the Apache Group.)  Send any patches you
have to the Apache Developers at new-httpd@apache.org.  (I'm CC'ing the
list on this response.)  That's how Apache keeps growing!

All users of mod_mime_magic will appreciate any contribution you make.
Thanks!
