mime problem

I just got a call about .shar files being dos-ized after being
pulled through Squid. I verified the problem and fixed it by
hacking the Squid mime types file as such:

  \.shar$ application/x-shar anthony-script.gif - image

as opposed to the original:

  \.shar$ application/x-shar anthony-script.gif - ascii +download

They both seem reasonable to me, .shars are text, but using 'sh' to
unshar them breaks because of the carraige-returns that are added.

Are the carraige-returns normal behavior?

Thanks!
