But if you want an RFC: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec7.html#sec7.2.1 "Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body SHOULD include a Content-Type header field defining the media type of that body. If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the resource. If the media type remains unknown, the recipient SHOULD treat it as type "application/octet-stream"." This actually covers another post too: Michael Hennebry: > What annoys me are text files labeled binary/application In some of those cases it may simply be unlabelled. But I do find it pretty annoying when it happens too, seems quite common for email attachments from Outlook users, you ask to be sent a plain text file and when you get it you end up having to save before opening. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
