I Point 1: Squid does not do that. Does not use mime.types at all.

Point 2: Squid does not accept mime types in the refresh_pattern directive. Are you _sure_ that: * the PAC file is not cached with old headers from before your changes? * the PAC file is actually being fetched from the web server you are expecting? * this is an official build of Squid? * nobody has applied third-party patches to it? (none of the official Gentoo patches change mime.types. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-proxy/squid/files/) What headers does this produce when run on the Squid box? squidclient -v -h wpad -p 80 /wpad.dat > > Of note for other Gentoo & Debian users: From mime.types # This file is > part of the app-misc/mime-types package, which is based on debian's > "mime-support". > > So my question is now; how do I force squid to use the mime-type > delivered by the remote webserver without killing mime.types and thus > breaking my system in new and unexpected ways? The official releases of Squid pass content-type headers through unchanged.
