[users@httpd] Serving inconsistent MIME types

[Scot Hacker <sh...@birdhouse.org>]

Hi -

I have the usual MIME type for CSS defined in conf/apache-mime.types as

 text/css css

but some browsers (notably FireFox 1) are failing to load the stylesheet,
complaining that it has a MIME type of text/plain (yes, the MIME
declarations are also correct in the HTML).

Using http://web-sniffer.net/ and pointing it to
http://battellemedia.com/styles-site.css , I see that the MIME type of the
CSS file is reported as text/plain on one request, then as text/css on
another, as if apache is changing the MIME type at random.

 I then added an explicit AddType to commonhttpd.conf:

 AddType text/css .css

and restarted apache. The MIME type is still reported inconsistently. The
problem is the same for the main server  and for vhosts.  I'm baffled.
Suggestions?

Using:
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.48 (Mandrake Linux/6.7.100mdk)
mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c PHP/4.3.4 Server at battellemedia.com Port 80

 Thanks,
 Scot
