m4a and m4b mime types
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
With the m4a and m4b file types coming into wider use for podcasting, we
need to add them to mime.types. However, when I attempted to do so, my
svn commit failed with a Forbidden. I assume, then, that there's some
other procedure for modifying that file that I don't know about. Should
I add them as an AddType directive in the default config, or can someone
tell me about the process for getting something into mime.types?
Thanks.

Hmm, actually I've neither heard of these extensions nor of the types
themselves. But I've prolly missed that stuff.
The more important part is that you cannot register x-types. Never.

It's unfortunate that our policy causes common file types to be
"unsupported", but I'll do as asked. I saw it listed on mozdev, and
thought that was a list of registered types. Apparently not.

Yeah, please revert, Rich - the rule is to only add types registered
at IANA.
It's completely unfair to turn away 'feature requests' which intend
to add unregistered types (see Bugzilla) and at the same time
arbitrarily add unregistered types by ourselves; somewhere we have to
draw the line and well, there it is...
Cheers,
Erik

As documented in mod_mime docs we have the policy to add only registered
types there.

As usual, my svn problems (and my cvs problems before them) stem from
ignorance rather than from actual problems. I had a http:// checkout
rather than an https:// one.
The other question remains, I suppose. Is it ok for me to tinker in the
mime.types file, or is there some other process by which we obtain that
file from the IANA or somebody?
