Exactly. I created this 'hack' because when downloading, lets say, a News Item 
via FTP from the CMF, you get a file with no extension, but with a header 
that states that the file is a News Item. However, if you try to upload the 
same file on another CMF Site where a file with the same ID doesnt exists, 
the CTR doesnt check for this header when sniffing for the type of the file 
being uploaded and creates a Document instead of a News Item.

This is a quick hack to check for those headers and return the right content 
type. It worked for what i needed to do, but im sure this could be improved.

The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what
you want.
