Website: MIME type

When you click a attachment for .msc or .mscx files on the website
forums the file opens as plain text in the browser instead of asking
whether to save or open the file (which is what happens with .mscz files).

The website serves .msc and mscx files as "text/plain" and serves .mscz
files as "application/octet-stream" which results in the different behavior.

Maybe we could even apply for our own IANA assignment such as
"application/vnd.musescore" (vnd is used for vender-specific
assignments). In the meantime maybe we should try using the generic
"application/octet-stream" with .msc and .mscx files.

MDMilford stumbled across this problem on the forum:

A custom MIME type for MuseScore files would be nothing short of
awesome, IMHO. Great suggestion.

Indeed; it would also provide me some incentive to work out how to
associate MIME types with applications on GNU systems... Not being
able to double-click .mscx/.mscz files is getting a bit old.

As far as I understand, an official mime type has to be requested to IANA:
