[Zope] MIME types and zope

[linuxcraft@redspice.com]

Hello,
I am trying to handle a vendor specific mime type within zope
basically it is the adobe forms plugin whihc encodes
data in application/vnd.fdf type.
It is basically an ascii stream set in a particular format
question is how do I access this data coming from the browser
the request variable does not contain information about this.

I am tunning zope behind apache. Do I have to configure both to handle this mime type.
Your responses will help greatly in solving a problem
thanks
