[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3660) Rename README.htm to README.html so that it can be read without saving to file

["Myrna van Lunteren (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3660?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12596978#action_12596978 ] 

Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-3660:
-------------------------------------------

I only see the behavior of the browser showing source when I click on the link on http://db.apache.org/derby/dev/derby_source.html, not when I do a file open to my local README.htm.

There is this FAQ: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ-E.html#redhat-htm

So, assuming the web server runs on a Red-Hat OS, that could be the cause.
If so, should we maybe ask infrastructure to add the mime-type? Could it do any harm to ask this?
I think maybe it would be less impacting than renaming the file & updating all references...related question: if we rename, should we do this on all branches?

The problem also shows on the svn browser, e.g.:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/java/testing/README.htm
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/branches/10.4/java/testing/README.htm

> The testing  README.htm file should have an html extention instead so it is viewable by browsers without saving the file.  Website references etc also need to be updated.
