Re: [cobalt-users] *.Zip and *.swf do not display correctly

[Support <Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the mime type addition does work after I rebooted the server.  Well at least
it recognizes the file now in Netscape and starts to download the file as a
shockwave but it appears as a broken link when it is finished loading and does not
play.  In IE it just shows a blank page.  Is there another place to make the
changes?
