As a result, if you don't have the word "the" in the file, and the file is not html, there doesn't seem to be anything else that would distinguish this file as "text/plain". There *is* a "DefaultType" directive which is by default set to "text/plain", and this does indeed work since the web browser gets served the file as text/plain when called directly, but this looks like it is done "after" mod_mime_magic has returned a "declined" status and hence has not displayed the file. It seems like an underlying bug.The easiest thing to do is simply rename README to README.txt. Otherwise, you can use <Files README> ForceType text/plain </Files>
Hi Joshua,Actually, neither is the perfect solution. If I change the README name to README.txt, then users can't use HTML readme files. The same occurs if I force the type on README. The *real* solution, of course, would be for the problem to be fixed in the web server software. There is already functionality for a "DefaultType", and that DefaultType should be used when the type of a file cannot be recognized.
