What is per-user? The application to use to view files of a particular type. It's not the server's job to dictate to me, the user, whether I should read PDF files with Adobe's Acroread, or with Xpdf, or with some application I just finished writing and compiling 3 minutes ago and that the server whence I'm fetching the file doesn't even know exists (because I just finished compiling it 3 minutes ago, and haven't told everybody on the planet about it yet). That was explained in the message to which you replied: > > I like to > > edit my .java files with vi, my colleague on this project likes to use wily. This was, as I remember, brought up the last time the notion of having the server specify a file type as a program to be used to view the file, rather than as, say, a MIME time, was suggested.
