Description David Faure 2007-09-25 15:42:20 UTC

Both application/x-executable and application/x-ms-dos-executable have the glob *.exe.
I don't think this makes sense; looking at the magic matches, x-executable seems to be for unix executables, so it shouldn't have the *.exe glob.


On a related note, a mimetype for *.dll would reduce sniffing needs when opening windows directories.

* freedesktop.org.xml.in: Remove *.exe as a pattern for Unix/ELF
executables (Closes: #12569)
