Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weird gibberish when loading a gif in Firefox, but it's fine in IE...
Ok i got the httpd.conf and mime.types file from my systems person and the conf file seems correct...here's a snip of httpd.conf: TypesConfig /etc/httpd/conf/mime.typesand in mime.types:image/gif gifShouldn't this be all there is to making the server send the correct content-type for the image? if so, then the only other explanation now would be whether or not mod_mime.c is loaded, correct?

The server that is sending the image must send the correctcontent-type in the http headers.

Hi,I did look at that earlier and I saw that the TypesConfig directive points to a mime.types file with the following entry:image/gif gifone little quirk i just realized is that the web app/server I'm debugging isn't the one that hosts the dynamically generated gif file... i have no control over that server and my app merely accesses the link. would that be the cause of the problem?Thanks again.Joshua Slive <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 7/19/06, Edric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> Hi,>> There's no content-type being set in the header... this is all i have in the> head:>> > > > thanks for your helpHe means the HTTP response header, not the html header. Look at themime.types file configured by the TypesConfig directive oralternatively use an AddType directive to set the correct type.

Hi,There's no content-type being set in the header... this is all i have in the head:<head><link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">head>thanks for your helpDavid Salisbury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Well I think that last part means your mime stuff ( the types file ) is then completely ignoredby apache.I'd guess IE reads the file as it's coming in, and figures out it's content type.Is your script sending a Content-type: in the header?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows XP Apache 2.0 msi file buggy?
i wasted a good 3 hours or so wondering why the http server test page wouldnt work, finally realizing that Apache does not like spaces in the file path. for example, by default, the installation file creates the folder "Apache 2," which messes things up for me... is this just a windows xp problem, just my problem, or what? I've installed this on linux before and dont recall having this type of problem. i've searched the FAQ and documentation but didn't notice anything mentioning this issue.thanks Yahoo!
