i suppose that my netscape web server is one them, because i´m denying audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin.The problem of course, is that the MIME type is reported by the server, and can be anything. I have seen several variations, most of which a human could guess were either RPM or Real Audio, but sometimes just text/plain!
i will probe with application/x-rpm.
thanx a lot

Does anybody knows the MIME Type of the rpm packages?
This is because my proxy server is blocking the downloads of these packages, and i want to register the rpm´s as a permitted mime type to
download.
The File Associations config tool for the Ximian Desktop indicates an
RPM is application/x-rpm.
There is a large number of (slightly broken) web servers that serve RPMs w/ a mime type of audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
If you want to allow Linux packages but not allow Real Audio, you need a moderately smart filter that allows any MIME type with both "application" and "-rpm" but disallows "audio", and that will still block some actual RPMs that are improperly identified by the server.
