Dears,
In my external method I can get mime_type = file.headers.headers[1].split()[1] and then my code proceed based on which mime type was identified for the file uploaded.
What happens now is that a user uploading a tgz file from a Windows platform and then my code did not identify it as a application/x-gzip-compressed or similar (it gets application/octet-stream).
As far as I understood from this case, such mime type info is passed by user's system (where Windows usually is not aware of tar.gz, tgz etc format) rather than being set by zope server.
AFAIK..all Zope types derived from OFS.File or OFS.Image are using OFS.contenttypes.guess_content_types()...if the 'content-type' header isn't available. Otherwise Zope will use it. -aj
