PDF mime type lacking on svn.osgeo.org

[neteler]

hi,

trying to download

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_1/OSGeoJournal_vol1.pdf

it opens the file contents into the browser itself (showing lots of funny symbols). I assume that a mime type is lacking to avoid this and to tell the browser to save the file/open into application instead.

Above link is used by the OSGeo Journal Team.

Best, Markus

svn propset svn:mime-type application/x-pdf OSGeoJournal_vol1.pdf

That's interesting, the URL opened fine in Safari browser regardless of that property being set.

Hobu did you run that command already?

[neteler]

In Firefox 2 it still fails.

I have not run the command.

[neteler]

I have now run the command and it doesn't help. I still assume an Apache issue.

In order to avoid further noise on the sac list on this topic, I'll take this item, since no one else has.

oops. Markus and I resolved the issue yesterday afternoon but forgot to close the bug :)

For the record,

svn propset svn:mime-type application/x-pdf OSGeoJournal_vol1.pdf
svn commit OSGeoJournal_vol1.pdf

Anyone with commit access can issue this command, so it is not a server-side issue.
