apache and edrawing files (configuration)

Hello,



I use apache as webserver and publish my drawings. I started to publish edrawing files. How should I configure apache so it recognise these files and send the apropriate message to the client so the client (mozilla) is able to download and start edrawings automatically?



I did something likewise with dwg files. Therefore I added a special type to apache configuration. #autocad AddType image/vnd.dwg dwg AddDescription "AutoCAD map" .dwg #edrawings AddType image/vnd.edrw edrw AddDescription "Edrawings map" .edrw



These are the lines for apache.



But mozilla doesn't react as expected. It download the file as text.

Yes that is true, but you can start a program based on the mime-type. I solved it. I had to define the mime-type on the client the same as on the server. Sounds logical. :-)

And I'm still waiting for a plugin that will work on Linux. shouldn't be that difficult. Is it?
