I'm running zope 2.6.4, python 2.2.3 on debian sarge.

    file = ImageFile('www/applet.jar', globals())

produced the following http headers -

    Content-Type: application/x-java-archive

For PDF files, it produced "application/pdf" and for MS Word documents
it produces "application/msword".  ImageFile is pretty clever :-)

I found that on debian I can make ImageFile understand new content types
simply by modifying /etc/mime.types.


Thanks to everyone for helping.
