REBOL MIME type (Was: REBOL-Tests)

Well, I checked it also in Internet Explorer 5.5 and there is still checksum error. However, I believe the browsers are correct. This problem with .rip files appeared on this list before, so I checked it with Ethereal packet analyzer. The web server sends the .rip file with content-type: text/plain (which is probably default for unrecognized file types), instead of application/x-octet-stream which would be more appropriate for a binary file. Because the type of document requested with HTTP protocol is determined by MIME type in content-type header and not by file name suffix, we need official MIME types for REBOL scripts and rip archives. Then new versions of web servers may include REBOL in their default MIME map. BTW, once (~1996) there was a similar problem with gzipped (binary) VRML files which have the same .wrl suffix as text VRML files. I think that all web servers identify them correctly as model/vrml now. Regards, -- Michal Kracik David Vydra wrote:
