Mime Type for .tar.gz.sign

[tril]

I am trying to get .tar.gz.sign files to be flagged by the webserver as type application/pgp-signature. No matter what I do they are sent as application/x-tar. I've put this line in .htaccess:

AddType application/pgp-signature .sign

No dice. It works for .tgz.sign files but not .tar.gz.sign. Any ideas, anyone?

I just tried it on one of my test accounts and it worked properly...

GET http://xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/test.tar.gz.sign --> 200 OK

Double check what you have typed into your .htaccess file, and make sure there is a trailing new line, if that directive was added to the bottom of the file...

If it still doesn't work, please provide a URL where we can test it ourselves...

Honest to god, it changed in the last twelve hours. It is now sending me the correct mime-type as well. Maybe some oddity of wget which I was using to test.

The other adjustment I had to make to allow .sign files to be downloaded was this:

<Files *.gz.sign>
RemoveEncoding .gz
</Files>

I got this tip from the Apache docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_mime.html#removeencoding . It prevents Mozilla from trying to automatically decompress the .gz.sign file for me and failing miserably.

Ah. I needed to tell wget to disallow server-side caching.
