dshahin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using cvsweb at a pretty big web engineering company I have designers checking in .pdf files into cvs. The trouble is when I try to download it via cvsweb, it is a text file. I've added the pdf suffix to the MTYPES hash and pointed it at a valid apach mime.types file, but it seems to ignore the pdf suffix and give me an url of:

testy.pdf?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain

or:

testy.pdf?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

yet if I type the url manually and set the context type to application/pdf, I can get the file okay.

have you seen this behavior before, and if so, how can I fix it?
