Description Ahmad Samir 2011-04-20 20:16:22 CEST
Usually when users attach .log files the mimetype gets set to text/x-log, Firefox doesn't open that mimetype like it does with text/plain, this is a major annoyance as anyone who wants to examine the log will have to change the mimetype in the Details of the attachment, or download it to view it with any text editor.

LpSolit suggested installing an extension that converts text/x-log to text/plain in bugzilla server side (he also said this extension is used in the Mozilla Bugzilla).

The extension: http://bzr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/extensions/typesniffer/trunk/files
it'll need  File::MimeInfo::Magic and IO::Scalar to work.

We have a few choice :
 - do a bzr checkout
 - import the code in our svn 

It should be easy to get it going.

Note that the extension would need to be modified a bit, but it's trivial to do.

Having enough time to do it is less trivial, I guess. This wasn't done yet, was it?

@ Frédéric
@ Dexter

Will this extension be needed in Bugzilla 4, too?

Yes, the MIME type detection didn't change between 3.6 and 4.0.

Comment 7 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2012-08-14 21:09:44 CEST
This feature has been implemented in Bugzilla 4.4. It will be a single line of code to convert text/x-log to text/plain.
