[TWiki-Dev] Configure extension installer now broken because of misconfigured twiki.org

[Kenneth L. <ke...@la...>]

We need to fix the mime types on twiki.org once and for all so that

    * http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/DirectedGraphPlugin/DirectedGraphPlugin.tgz
      must return |Content-Type: application/x-gzip|
    * http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/DirectedGraphPlugin/DirectedGraphPlugin.zip
      must return |Content-Type: application/zip|

|And then additionally verify that the other settings are defined so 
that both Internet Explorer and Firefox both can download .tgz and .zip 
files without destroying them.

In IE you may have to adjust the suggested filename from .gz to .tgz - 
that is a known problem.
|||
|It seems each time someone fixes one they break the others.|
||
|Right now noone can download and install extensions using configure 
because it expects ||Content-Type: application/x-gzip or ||Content-Type: 
application/zip.

And currently the twiki.org server serves the tgz file as Content-Type: 
application/x-tar and this is wrong and makes configure fail.
||||
Some extensions will skip the tgz and succeed with the zip. Many fail to 
install completely. This basically disables the extensions installer for 
anyone that tries to use it.

I opened a bug item 
http://develop.twiki.org/~twiki4/cgi-bin/view/Bugs/Item3749.
