Package: mime-support Version: 3.52-2 Severity: normal /etc/mime.types says:
# Note: Compression schemes like "gzip", "bzip", and "compress" are not # actually "mime-types". They are "encodings" and hence must _not_ have # entries in this file to map their extensions. The "mime-type" of an # encoded file refers to the type of data that has been encoded, not the # type of encoding. but this is not what the IETF says: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc6713.html Abstract This document defines the 'application/gzip' and 'application/zlib' media types for compressed data using the gzip and zlib compression formats. I agree that "gzip" *can* be an encoding, but it can also be a media type (in particular in a context where there isn't the HTTP notion of content encoding). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash mime-support depends on no packages.
