Description

Ok, so appart from the export: links in "wiki" fields looking ugly (are there plans to make them show either only the filename or even make the links "configurable" like http links?), I had a user asking if there was a way to make the pdfs he had in the repo be shown in the browser instead of force-downloading them.

I have whipped up a small patch (somewhat looked off of the mimetype-fu plugin) that guesses the mime-type of a file according to its extension and Mime::Type and sets the disposition to inline to make browsers show them instead of downloading them. The patch is attached, but it changes the behavior of the "raw" download action also used by the download-Link in the repository tab.

That brings us to the discussion if the "raw" Links should be changed, or if an extra action, say show, should be configured, but the changes to the patch should be quite straightforward.

Last but not least: there are only a very few mime types defined in redmine at the moment, one source for some more could e.g. be this list from the mimetype-fu plugin.
