http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27617 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|FIXED | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-02-27 15:41 ------- The lines in web.xml currently distributed with Tomcat 5.0.28 do not work for Internet Exploder. Further, the web.xml file omits an entry for "PPS" (power-point show) files. Details: I hit problems while attempting to provide access to powerpoint files using Tomcat 5.0.28. That version is distributed with these lines in web.xml: <mime-mapping> <extension>ppt</extension> <mime-type>application/powerpoint</mime-type> </mime-mapping> I compared the mime-types with entries in Apache 2.20 mime.types file, where I find only this: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint ppt Based on my tests, Firefox works fine with the application/powerpoint entry, but IE does not. IE seems to require the application/vnd.ms-powerpoint variation, and Firefox accepts that as well. I used the following to replace what is shown above with good results: <mime-mapping> <extension>ppt</extension> <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-powerpoint</mime-type> </mime-mapping> <mime-mapping> <extension>pps</extension> <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-powerpoint</mime-type> </mime-mapping> Please consider using these entries in the web.xml distributed with Tomcat. I do not have Visio, so could not test the behavior of IE on a Visio file, but that probably should be checked as well. I contacted Scott Pontillo, the original reporter of this bug, and he made the following suggestion: > As a longer-term solution to this problem, maybe it would be good to >establish a process for importing the entries from the native Apache >server periodically? It seems they are kept more up-to-date for that >product... I've taken it upon myself to reopen the bug since it is easily reproducible and seems like such a minor issue. I apologize if this was premature.
