MIME type for Winamp skins?

[igowerf]

I want to put some Winamp skins on my website, but Firebird loads them as text files. I set the MIME type for wsz files to application/zip, but Firebird still loads them as text.

Try setting the mime-type as interface/x-winamp-skin.

I've been noticing this problem when trying to DL skins, so any help would be appreciated by me as well.

Are you trying to download Winamp skins at Winamp.com using Mozilla/Firebird? The problem is with Winamp's servers. They have an incorrect MIME type set for wsz files so Firebird thinks they're text files. MSIE goes by file extension so it isn't affected. At least that's what I've gathered. 🙂

Thanks. The funny thing is that nullsoft is owned by AOL, which until recently owned netscape.
Stupid server settings. :|

ClueLis, you might wanna set your MIME types manually on the client side by using the Things They Left Out extension for FireBird.

Thanks for the rating, igowerf 🙂.
