Add text/html aspx to mime.types

[Daniel Miller]

Binary package hint: mime-support

Accessing many IIS websites via Firefox is problematic as Firefox does not render the .aspx pages properly without assistance. Adding "aspx" to the "text/html" section in /etc/mime.types solves most of these problems.

[Daniel Miller (dmiller)]

If this is somehow a security or restricted issue, which would prohibit including this in the default mime-support package, can a new package be created, perhaps "mime-support-aspx", which would simply add this to mime.types?

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

This is already there:
   <mime-type type="application/x-asp">
    <_comment>ASP page</_comment>
    <acronym>ASP</acronym>
    <expanded-acronym>Active Server Page</expanded-acronym>
    <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/>
    <generic-icon name="text-x-script"/>
    <glob pattern="*.asp"/>
  </mime-type>

Would it be appropriate to add *.aspx to this as well? Or should it be a different mime type?
