---------------------------------
hi julian.
i am using the new Office 2007 products as webdav client.
We do not have webfolders we crap the content always with the ApplicationClient
itself.
i dont know if MsWord sends a header with the mimetype but i will check it ..

yes thats true

i think this scenrio that you open a word file and then save as excel is not
realistic.
to add mimetypes through a configuration would be fine so we can add other
formats.

> Better MimeType Handling
> ------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-1172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1172
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-webdav
> Affects Versions: 1.3
> Reporter: Claus Köll
>
> After saving a Excel File through WebDAV the mimetype will be changed.
> The mimetype for a Win2000 Exel File is application/vnd.ms-excel. This will
> be changed to application/msexcel.
> Also problems makes the new office 07 format (docx,xlsx,pptx). They will also
> be changed to application/octet-stream (default mimetype).
> We have a lot of file types that we store in jackrabbit that are not in the
> properties file (MSInfoPath-, OutlookMsg-, MsAccess-Files, ...)
> I think it will be better to let the mimetype property untouched if a
> mimetype is present so we must not put all the possible mimetypes in the
> property file.
