Apache mime types

Thought I could just add "Add Type application/json json" to .htaccess and be done with it but when I curl my json feed I see it is still "Content-Type: text/plain" so I'm wondering how to get Apache to serve json files as "Content-Type: application/json".

Per the Apache
documentation, it looks like the directive is 'AddType' instead of 'Add Type'.
Try this out: (fixed to include the .json extension)

Ah, I spaced out there, didn't I? Thanks.

I made the correction but I'm still getting "Content-Type: text/plain" from curl on the json file "
http://mikepasini.com/corners/index.json".

D'oh! On further testing, the magic incantation is as follows: (needs to have a leading '.')

I've read that it should work either way (json or .json). But I can confirm it isn't working either way. Still getting "Content-Type: text/plain" where I need "Content-Type: application/json" for the feed to be parsed by third party readers.

It looks like the .htaccess rule is the same but it does appear to be working:
Code: Select all
curl -v http://mikepasini.com/corners/index.json
* Trying 64.x.x.x...
* Connected to mikepasini.com (64.x.x.x) port 80 (#0)
> GET /corners/index.json HTTP/1.1
> Host: mikepasini.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.47.0
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< ...snip
< Content-Length: 22171
< Content-Type: application/json
Are you still having problems with the feed content type being recognized correctly everywhere?

It's working correctly since I moved it into the folder with the domain name. I'd tried that before but without the dot in the file extension. Here's the proof:
http://json-feed-viewer.herokuapp.com/f ... index.json
I thought I replied to the thread on that yesterday but I don't see my message. Sorry! And thanks for helping to sort it out.
