+ <title>Serving Alternate Formats with the right MIME type</title>

+ <para>
+ Some Bugzilla pages have alternate formats, other than just plain
+ <acronym>HTML</acronym>. In particular, a few Bugzilla pages can
+ output their contents as either <acronym>XUL</acronym> (a special
+ Mozilla format, that looks like a program <acronym>GUI</acronym>)
+ or <acronym>RDF</acronym> (a type of structured <acronym>XML</acronym>
+ that can be read by various programs).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In order for your users to see these pages correctly, Apache must
+ send them with the right <acronym>MIME</acronym> type. To do this,
+ add the following lines to your Apache configuration, either in the
+ <computeroutput>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</computeroutput> section for your
+ Bugzilla, or in the <computeroutput>&lt;Directory&gt;</computeroutput>
+ section for your Bugzilla:
