Please make .patch (and .diff) files a text mime-type

[Alberth]

My browser does not give me an option to open a patch file, instead it demands that I save it, which is quite annoying for a quick look.
'wget' tells me it gets sent as application/octet-stream, which explains why the browser behaves that way.

Code: Select all

Pragma: public
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=UTF-8''refit_vs_1.4.2.patch
Content-Length: 7886

Could it be set to "text/x-diff" or "text/x-patch" instead? We don't seem to be using binary patch files, so this should be safe.

.patch and .diff files are in the "plain text" attachment extension group in phpBB, but it seems that doesn't (directly) control MIME types. To change it would probably involve having to modify phpBB, unfortunately. I'll try to look into it though.

Sounds like a bug then
