Comment(by ryandesign@…):
In addition to fixing the MIME type for .tbz2 files specifically, since
the purpose of the packages and distfiles servers is to distribute non-
text files, it would be good to change the ''default'' MIME type to
application/octet-stream. That's this directive in httpd.conf:
{{{
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain
}}}
