lynx-dev mime-types, server responsibility, etc..

[mattack]

Hmm, he didn't want me to forward on his message, so I'll just send the 
sentiments of what the guy who put up the stuff I was talking about on 
the www.apple2.org site has said.. 

He says that it's not the server's responsibility to set up the mime types,
and apparently the browser can request an appropriate MIME encapsulation
for files.

I'm not trying to start an argument either way, I am just trying to find
out the real deal.

Kind of interesting though that, for someone who's continuing to write Apple
II software and running a web site for Apple II stuff, he won't modify the
server end to make it easier to download files..

Hmm, I just downloaded it with Lynx, and my Zmodem properly undid one level
of packaging (Binary II, to tell filetype of the end file), and I went and
was able to look in the archive with the archive program.  So I guess it
*did* get downloaded as text.

It sure is weird for me to see text/plain when downloading it with Lynx.
This was a case of me knowing "enough to be dangerous", I guess.  I was
equating text with 7 bit, thinking it would munge my data.
