[Zope] Wrong mime type sent by Zope on every page

[Andrew Diller]

You are correct.

I see it now:

3:56pm imp:[~]                                                                  : %;
telnet www.HOST.upenn.edu 8080
Trying XXX.91.72.121...
Connected to XXX.XXX.UPENN.EDU (XXX.91.72.121).
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /pn21/secnet/section_text HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Zope/Zope 2.1.6 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) ZServer/1.1b1
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 19:56:24 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 27119


Why does Server: return linux2? This is an Compaq Alpha running Tru64!?!
