Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.25-3+deb9u7 I have just perpetrated this:
<FilesMatch "^(?!.*(?:\\.tar|\\.crt|microcode|\\.jpeg|\\.png|\\.html)(?:\\.bz2|\\.gz|-gzip)?$)" > ForceType text/plain </FilesMatch> which is just awful. This is an insane way to spell this, and it also means I have to repeat all of the file extensions which my system might work with, rather than using the handy list in mime.types. My system is a CI system which generates largely textual logfiles, whose filenames do not, and should not, generally end in .txt. So in my context, a default file type is absolutely correct. It ought to be supported. (And type-sniffing is definitely wrong here.) I understand that DefaultType was previously needed basically everywhere, but is now not usually recommended. That's fine. I don't mind if I have to write ReallyDefaultTypeIPromiseIKnowWhatImDoing. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
