Was there a reason for this apparent change?
I know you say it has nothing to do with the MIME type set on the datastream, but if you're talking about delivering a "managed" datastream from Fedora (e.g. http://host/fedora/get/example:1/DSID), that's the only place it comes from. The Fedora server doesn't have it's own mime type database or anything -- it just uses what it's given. In the case of managed (or inline xml) datastream requests, this comes from the value set on the datastream itself. In the case of external datastreams (control group E) or other dissemination requests, the value Fedora delivers is whatever comes from the server delivering the content. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
