Could very well be that Apache by default assumes rpm is a Helix/Real
file format. But considering that I personally or anyone I ever talked
have never ever seen a Real stream using the .rpm extension I think
making the Real player plugin not register itself as handling that
extension a good solution. Of course Red Hat (being a RPM based distro)
should probably also change the default association for .rpm on the
bundled Apache version too.
