Hi Andrew,
Did you try to define additional mime types in your web.xml?

Hi,
I have a pipeline that needs to serve up static files of any type
from a particular directory. And yes, I know it'd be more efficient
to just have the web server do it, but we don't control the server
that hosts it and there's constraints on the configuration &
deployment process that mean we have to do it this way. Previously,
I was using a matcher for each file extension, and specifying the
corresponding mime-type parameter in the map:read. However, I gather
that if no mime-type is specified the resource reader is supposed to
determine the mime type automatically using inputSource.getMimeType()
on the (Excalibur) Source. So I tried replacing my multiple matchers
with just
<map:match pattern="staticfiles/**">
<map:read src="files/{1}"/>
</map:match>
For PDFs and image files, this works just fine. However, MS
Word/Excel/Powerpoint files are displayed as text/binary within the
browser window rather than prompting to download or open them in the
relevant application. SWF files are also displayed as text rather
than in the Flash player/plugin. This appears to be because the
Content-Type header is being sent back as "text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" rather than e.g. application/vnd.ms-excel
I haven't checked every file type we use (yet) so there may be others
that also have the problem.
Is this a known limitation of the resource reader? Does it only
recognise certain file types, or is there something else going on I'm
not aware of (e.g. missing some configuration somewhere)? I'm using
Cocoon 2.1.7, although the current SVN version on the 2_1_X branch
doesn't appear to be any different.
Andrew.
