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.
