mime type in document module

Hello FrancescaS,

Usually it is managed in include/uplloadfile.php with a method getMime or something like that which calls a function get_file_mime_type (and lot of others) in include/utils/file_utils.php.

Hope that can help you.

thank you Cédric.

include/upload_file.php has a function confirm_upload() which in turn uses getMime to set the mime type.

getMime uses the function get_file_mime_type in include/utils/file_utils.php

the mime type comes from:

            $finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);

            if ($finfo) {

                $mime = @finfo_file($finfo, $file);

                finfo_close($finfo);

            }

and is therefore using php and apache to get the mime but it doesn't map the right one.

I get application/zip for .docx

and text/plain for .nb and other such extensions.

I think I'll have to move this issue to my apache admins.

thank you for setting me on the right track once again.

Francesca

Appears to be an issue at server level in our case.
