Re: mime problem

You are probably right in that shar files should use image transfer mode
at most times to preserve line endings.

However, this is one of the reasons why the default config includes a
"download" icon on every file format usin ascii transfer mode by
default. By clicking on the download icon on the left you forces both
Squid and the browser to make a binary download, if you select the
filename you select to view the file.

To be consistent you may want to add +download +view flags to every mime
type.
