Hi Zopers
How does Zope recognize the type of a file? Mostly it
recognizes .doc's correctly as 'application/msword', but
sometimes they turn up as 'application/octet-stream'.
Others, like .fh8 (Freehand) and .exe (self-extracting
zip) are (unsurprisingly) also turning up as
'application/octet-stream'.
The files are being added using
<input type=hidden name=":method" value="manage_addProduct/OFSP/fileAdd">
Can Zope be taught more types? Failing that, I guess I
should try to catch the extension using
"find(S, SUB[, START])" on the id (which is the filename).
