I will provide Cecil and any other EZNEC customer with support for
EZNEC. My request for no further email does not include EZNEC support.

EZNEC .EZ files are binary files, and can be handled like any other
binary file. No special attachment or auxiliary software, or special
encoding or treatment, is needed to transfer or attach them.

Now you tell me after a year of zero support.

I don't understand exactly what 1and1.com is asking for,
but both w2du and I have the same problem. Here's the
1and1.com email to me.

"In order to get thee working, we need to have the MIME type
for the .EZ file extension installed on the server. To do this,
please contact the company that created the EZ filetype and ask
them to provide to you the MIME type type for that extension.
Let us know what it is so we can add it."

Would you please contact and get this problem
solved?

Further ...

As Roy states, .ez are binary ... so, perhaps ".bin
application/x-binary" would be suitable (just guessing here.)

However, the gods which be disdain posting of binaries to r.r.a.a 8-)

So, maybe we should create rec.radio.amateur.binary ... would be kinda
handy really, we could have pics of babes holding our antennas!
innocent-look ;-)

I don't really care what the solution is as long
as the solution gets implemented. Are we going to
ask everyone to rename antenna.bin to antenna.ez
before they can use it with EZNEC? Why does qsl.net
handle .EZ files properly and 1and1.com doesn't?
As a simple user, this should NOT be my problem.

Your server folks need to get their act together and perform the
appropriate workaraound (I assume that the need for mime type of a file is
some sort of security thing) Time to switch to another server.

Some outfits get so hung up on what they think is security thst they
punish the good folk. I belonged to a list that onetime rejected a post I
made because it contained the word "link" in it.

Mike, Mike, before you fly completely off the handle, 1and1 offers
their customers a choice of Mickysoft's server or Linux. Cecil chose
Micksoft. I also use 1and1 as my HSP and chose Linux. Cecil had
problems I didn't.

Sorry ... well, it looks like Roy should petition to have ".ez file
type" registered with IANA as something like:

..ez application/x-binary

however, I am guessing. But looks like something Roy should do alright
.... I have never had to deal with this before ...

Here is the latest request from 1and1.com. Please stop the
sandbagging and just answer their question.

"Ask them to give you the actual MIME Type declaration."
