            Bug ID: 197811
           Summary: Incorrect mime-type provided for some files
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mi at ALDAN.algebra.com

Certain files -- such as Release Notes of the early FreeBSD-releases -- are
served with the catch-all "octet-stream" type, instead of text/plain. For
example:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/1.1.5/RELNOTES.FreeBSD
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/1.1/RELNOTES.FreeBSD

% HEAD https://www.freebsd.org/releases/1.1/RELNOTES.FreeBSD

They don't have the customary .txt extension, which might be confusing the
server. Perhaps, mod_mime (or equivalent) should be added to the server to
catch such things.
