MIME type of war file

[Roedy Green]

What is the mime type of a war file?

It is treated as a zip? jar? something else?

Does anyone know where Sun has some war files publicly posted so I
could see what MIME type they are using?

"The industrial civilisation is based on the consumption of energy resources that are inherently limited in quantity, and that are about to become scarce. When they do, competition for what remains will trigger dramatic economic and geopolitical events; in the end, it may be impossible for even a single nation to sustain industrialism as we have know it in the twentieth century."

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/sample/

is using text/plain

That seems odd.

Yes.

Treating it as text may create corruption due to different
line conventions.

That makes sense.

A war is in zip format.

And for download it does not have any special meaning (that is only
for servlet containers).

Go for it.
