Using cake version 1.2.0.7692 RC3 it does not appear that the MediaView class pays any attention to the apache mime types (nor should it since this would be web server specific). Acceptable mime types in cake are hard coded in cake/libs/view/media.php. Even with the .xlsx extension defined (using AddType) in Apache the cake media view will not allow downloads of this file extention until the extension is added into the $mimeType array in the media.php file.
Is there another way to add mime types aside from extending this class? Maybe this could become a feature request ticket? Thanks!
