When I download a RAR archive using Netscape Navigator or Communicator, the file is corrupt. What's wrong?
Apache HTTP server erroneously reports the RAR archive type as text/plain and as a result, Netscape Navigator/Communicator treats the file as plain text. To prevent this from happening,webmasters, using Apache, should create a .htaccess file in each directory that has RAR archives and add the following string to it:
AddType application/x-rar-compressed rar
If .htaccess already exists, this string should be added to the already existing file.
You can add this type in Netscape under preferences/file types too.
Please read the Netcape help file for further information.
