Very Computer

Hi all:

I have a file that whenever someone downloads it from my webserver
(httpd) it opens the file in "binary code" rather than downloading it
to their hard drive. In NetScape, you can hold the SHIFT key down
while downloading it, but I would like to add the file extension to my
mime.types file instead. The file is a .JAR file. A .JAR file is a
Java Applet Resource file that the new JDK v.1.1 is capable of doing.
It's kinda like a ZIP file in a way.

I've manually edited my mime.type file to say:

application/jar                      jar

BUT, this still doesn't work. Can someone help me add the .jar file
type as a Mime type extension? Do I have to restart the server or
something?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
