* add MIME types `application/zip` and `application/gzip` to anchors of automatically generated archives. * add testing for that, and also for https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/2899 ## Why Many instances are struggling with crawlers that are fetching these links, causing archives to be generated. The content is actually never downloaded. [MDN describes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#type) this attribute as a "hint". So this hint can help a client to decide against fetching the href contents. I don't believe this change will actually improve the situation, however, I think this attribute is nice to have. ## MIME types It was a bit difficult to determine which are the right ones for this use case. [IANA lists](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) both `application/zip` and `application/gzip`. `application/zip` refers to [RFC6713](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6713) and `application/gzip` doesn't refer to an RFC directly. It also has [detailed information](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/zip) about zip. [gzip is less detailed](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/gzip). * [`application/zip`](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/zip): > ZIP files are binary data and thus should be encoded for MIME mail transmission. This was written in 1993, but probably applies to the more modern web as well. * [`application/gzip`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6713): > The 'application/gzip' media type describes a block of data that is compressed using gzip [RFC1952] compression. The data is a stream of bytes as described in RFC 1952. [RFC1952](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc1952/) is a "GZIP file format specification", but there's a warning: "This RFC is not endorsed by the IETF and has no formal standing in the IETF standards process.". Anyway, I consider it as the right way to mark .tar.gz files too.
