adding mime-type

[mi...@student.uhasselt.be]

Hello,

I have added a mimetype for the crt-extension to the
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml-file. I have a file with this extension in the
ROOT-webapp-directory. The ROOT-webapp has no web.xml-file. I also restarted
tomcat. However, when I open the crt-file, it is still presented as a
text-file. Any idea why this is? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do
additional steps? I'm using tomcat 5.5.9.

greetings and thanks,

Michel Brabants

If you are calling it though a servlet I believe you will still need the 
  set the MIME type in the HttpResponse object with a call like

response.setContentType("text/html");

I am not sure how you would do it for a JSP page.  Unless you just went 
for the inelegant option of

<%  response.setContentType("text/html");   %>

You would clearly need to replace "text/html" with the MIME type you set 
up already.

Hello,

I checked it on an other computer yesterday en there it was shown as the
intended type (x509-certificate). I used konqueror. Konqueror still tells me it
is plain text. However, firefox shows it as a certificate. I tested konqueror on
other sites and there is shows the file as a certificate.

If someone would want to test it: The certificate is located at the following
url:
http://bib12.uhasselt.be/

greetings,

Michel

What client browser are you using.  MS IE can ignore the mime-type presented
by the server and make decisions based on its own voodoo.  See:
