Re: How to force CRLF on non .txt files when directory browsing?

[Jonathon Veencamp <jdveencamp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tried that in my conf/httpd.conf file.  And restarted the server.

AddType text/plain .log
AddType text/plain .properties

 

As I understand, it informs the browser what to do with it.  And that's good.  But I think this is a server side problem.  It still isn't using the Windows convention of CR/LF.  It's like FTPing the file using binary versus as text.  When I FTP it with text, I get the CR/LF.  Binary and it wraps.    In this case, the HTTP server seems to be doing a binary transfer of the file.  I want it to treat it as text.

 

But if I rename the file to *.log.txt, then the HTTP server and browser handles it correctly.  So the HTTP server is doing something different natively with .txt files

 

Thanks.
