#610: Please add MIME type for MapGuide package to the download server's
mime.types

Could the newly-established [http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-
types/application/vnd.osgeo.mapguide.package MIME type for MapGuide
packages] please be added to the vhost configuration for the
download.osgeo.org site with an
[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype AddType
directive]?
I think this should look something like:
{{{
AddType application/vnd.osgeo.mapguide.package .mgp
}}}
Rationale:
This will allow our Internet Explorer users to download our sample data
packages with the correct file extension instead of being prompted to save
a .zip file. This issue has caused a considerable problem for new users,
who often attempt to unzip the contents of the package. Using this MIME
type on the download server will provide a considerably enhanced initial
experience for our users.

Thanks!
