Description
Could the newly-established MIME type for MapGuide packages please be added to the vhost configuration for the download.osgeo.org site with an AddType directive?
I think this should look something like:
AddType application/vnd.osgeo.mapguide.package .mgp
Rationale:
This will allow our Internet Explorer users to download our sample data packages with the correct file extension instead of being prompted to save a .zip file. This issue has caused a considerable problem for new users, who often attempt to unzip the contents of the package. Using this MIME type on the download server will provide a considerably enhanced initial experience for our users.

Thanks!
