Hi Richard,
I just tried this on an install from trunk. A Word document saved in Office
2003 format (.doc) is returned with the application/msword MIME type as
expected. A Word document saved in Office 2007 format (.docx) is returned
with a MIME type
of application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,
which is apparently correct (
http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Office-2007-Open-XML-MIME-Types.aspx).
Both IE and Firefox were able to open both files correctly.
While I'm not sure why this would be different between 3.1 and trunk, it
appears that the current code provides the correct behavior. We're planning
to release Fedora 3.2 next week, so you're welcome to try this again with a
3.2 install and let us know if this is still an issue.
