Description Daniel Mustieles 2012-08-29 15:15:41 UTC 
Some time ago, I was able to open PO files directly in Firefox, and it was very useful to search terms or just to look up inside the PO file without opening it with Gtranslator.

But now, I can't open them directly. Firefox just let's me to download or open them with the specified tool. Maybe the MIME type of the PO files has changed? I can open POT files properly.

I don't know if this behaviour is due to some issue in DL or in my Firefox installation (although I've tested it in several machines with both Linux and Windows, without positive results).

Please excuse me if this not a real DL bug.

Cheers

This is something I also noticed, but I'm almost sure it is related to the 12.04 server migration (probably an Apache setting). DL doesn't have access to the HTTP transaction for those files, they are directly served by the Web server (through an Alias directive).

Anyone know what the mime type of a PO file is supposed to be?
Comment 3 Claude Paroz 2012-08-31 13:33:06 UTC 
Probably text/plain (extensions .po and .pot)
Comment 4 Andrea Veri 2012-09-01 14:07:48 UTC 
I've added the relevant mime type, can you check if it's working for you?
Comment 5 Claude Paroz 2012-09-01 15:16:22 UTC 
Works for me, thanks!
Comment 6 Daniel Mustieles 2012-09-01 17:16:06 UTC 
Also for me :)

Many thanks for your help!
