Description of problem: The MIME type for files of type image/vnd.microsoft.icon (standard extension .ico) is not defined in the standard file /etc/mime.types . This file format is a standard format accepted by IANA, as described at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/image/vnd.microsoft.icon Since this is an IANA defined file type, please add this definition to the standard mime.types file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailcap-2.1.23-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put an icon file in the DocumentRoot directory of your apache web server (e.g. favicon.ico) 2. With firefox, go to http://localhost/favicon.ico Actual results: Garbled text appears in the web browser Expected results: An icon appears in the web browser Additional info: Note: This also needs to be done for other supported platforms/releases, including RHEL 5. However, I will not open a separate report for each (unless you request it).
Fixed in mailcap-2.1.25-1.fc8. Thanks. As for RHEL5, please contact Red Hat Support to get it escalated.
