For what I have seen, the text/plain mime-type is return for progressive
streaming -ie- raw ASF sent without encapsulation. For an ASX, one
of the following mime-type is sent:
audio/x-ms-wax
audio/x-ms-wma
video/x-ms-asf
video/x-ms-afs
video/x-ms-wvx
video/x-ms-wmv
video/x-ms-wma
That the way I handle it. I don't think we need to worry about
this for now unless too many bug reports are about this.
I just wish that not too many web servers out there are not
badly configured :(
