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.

I think you will find that the addin necessary to view eDrawings will not

monopoly.

 

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?
