Hi,

I have looked for a solution to an issue I am seeing, but without any luck - 
hopefully someone has seen this before and can provide a workaround.

A client  is using LibreOffice on Windows XP PCs, running IE8.  They use LO to 
save in the Microsoft formats (.doc, .xls, etc) which is working fine.

However, when they try to upload one of those files to web servers, the MIME 
type of those files is always reported as 'application/octect-stream', rather 
than
the real mime type - IE can't figure out the type as it would if Office was 
installed.

This also affects files that weren't created by LO, such as ones that were sent 
via email, that were created in Microsoft Office.

Is there a way to register some type of LO handler with Windows so that the 
file types are properly recognized?

Thanks in advance,
Ian
