RE: [Zope] Zope and mime types ???

You probably cannot do anything to make sure that you get this MIME type unless you map it yourself at the server.

I understand, that there must be a mapping of the file extension to the appropriate mime type. I found in the mime.types file of my Apache config that there .doc is mapped to application/msword. But why does it still depend on the fact, that word is installed on the client or not? Mime/content types do not really make sense to me that way. Am I wrong or is there a way to control this on the server machine? TIA Frank
