Hi, all!

My situation is that I have .ics files (Event and ToDo items for Apple
iCal) being served over the web.

My problem is that, instead of them downloading to the client system
as files that can then be dragged into iCal, they are displayed as
text in a new window.

This is bad.

In the deep recesses of my memory, I seem to remember that one uses
the .htaccess file on a UNIX box to tell Apache about any MIME types
you want to define in addition to those already defined in its
configuration.

TRUE FALSE (please check one :-)

Regardless, I would appreciate your assistance with the following:
1. What is the correct MIME type for an iCal .ics file?
2. What is the correct method (if not .htaccess) for defining this
MIME type within a website's filespace without having access to the
server config?
3. What is the correct syntax for defining this MIME type within the
file?

If one of you already has such defined somewhere and can cut-and-paste
the code into an off-list email, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Steve
