Hi, I am not anymore able to reproduce the issue. Yet, I cannot exactly say if this is because of firefox having been fixed or environmental conditions being changed...
1) Our dept repository has been completely renewed. The new one does not have the issue, but possibly it is now checking some magic in the files it receives to explicitly verify the file types. 2) E-papers does not have the issue anymore. But again I know it has been enhanced to workaround lots of browsers issues. At this point, I think that it is anyway relatively safe to close the bug. If I see the issue again in a reproducible context, I'll open a new one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84880 Title: firefox uploads files with wrong mimetype Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Using firefox 2.0.0.1 on Ubuntu edgy. If I upload a PDF file to some site using firefox, the receiver gets the file and an associated mimetype of application/binary rather than the correct application/pdf (btw, note that konqueror uploads the pdf file with the correct mimetype). I do not know if the above is a problem with edgy firefox or with upstream firefox, but I suspect the first. The bug seems minor, but is in fact critical to those needing to upload conference papers or journal articles to publishers' web sites. In fact, the latter often refuse the file if the file does not appear to be PDF.
