---------------

    This data comes from the 'item' object by calling Zope API methods
    on what we know is a file object.  The methods 'item/getId',
    'item/content_type', 'item/getSize',
    'item/bobobase_modification_time' are all standard API functions
    that are documented in Zope's online help system.

       the method 'content_type' appears to be misnamed or excluded from the latest version, otherwise example
       works. API reference for 'file' confirms the syntax (though only by inference).

       In current File API it's getContentType

       The methods getId, content_type, ... are in the API for File objects.
       Also, getID is a method, but isnt content_type a property?
