Description Gilles Dartiguelongue 2008-04-25 09:42:05 UTC 
When accessing it with konqueror from a kde desktop, konqueror sees files as text/plain when they obviously aren't (say ogg/theora). Apache has a mime module but I'm not sure this would be enough since afaics it's less complete than shared-mime-info. Maybe there should be a feature request to apache first ?

Mail my favourite apache developer about that.

Joe tells me:
"
Would it be possible to have update-mime-database generate a MIME magic 
file in the file(1) ASCII format (like /usr/share/file/magic.mime)? 
mod_mime_magic can read those.

Otherwise, using mod_mime_magic configured to use the above magic.mime 
would make sense, but there would be possible inconsistency. 
"

If somebody wants to give a try at making shared-mime-info's update-mime-database generate a magic.mime file?
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2008-10-24 22:26:48 UTC 
if you need to write an apache module anyway for bug 519577, it might be easier to just have that module provide a shared-mime-info-based replacement for mod_mime_magic too...
