SVG as image mimetype

[matthewlein]

I just uploaded a site using the stock htaccess, and the site uses a logo img with an svg source
<img src="img/logo.svg">

Chrome was giving me the old:
Resource interpreted as Image but transferred with MIME type text/xml

Simple fix was adding
AddType image/svg+xml svg
in my case on line 171

server-configs-apache/.htaccess

Line 171 in 9fe2b7f

AddType text/cache-manifest appcache manifest

Now that people will be using SVG more often and in different ways: img, svg, object, background image, it might be good to include this as a default. I'm not sure if any others MIME types are needed for other use cases.

AddType image/svg+xml svg

@matthewlein You are most probably using Apache < v2.2.0. For the Apache versions that we support, Apache already provides that by default.

[matthewlein]

My httpd -v says
Apache/2.2.3
But for whatever reason it wasn't working without that addition. Not sure.

@matthewlein hmm, that is weird. Can you provide more details? What OS are you using? Are you using other configs? etc.

[matthewlein]

I don't have a lot of server-fu, but I got these details
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built: Jan 10 2013 08:19:28
CentOS release 5.9 (Final)

If there's anything specific you want me to dig up, I can.

Plesk does the multiple domains setup, so it may be involved in some way.

This was a fresh site, no special configs at all, its a super basic single html page.

Also just dug through /etc/mime.types and it is not listed there along all the other image types. So that seems to settle it.

The issue is here if anyone else needs the fix. You can decide if you want to roll it back to include it. IMO it doesn't hurt to have it, unless there is some performance hit.

/etc/mime.types

@matthewlein isn't it something like /etc/apache2|httpd|something_else/mime.types ?

it is not listed there along all the other image types.

@matthewlein great, thanks! Can you also look and see if the other two listed here are present or not?

You can decide if you want to roll it back to include it. I

@matthewlein will reintroduce it / them.

[matthewlein]

Sure.
application/x-shockwave-flash swf is there, so you can leave that out.
image/x-icon ico is NOT there, it could be added back.

Thanks @matthewlein, really appreciate your help!
