[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki and Mimetypes problems

[Sullivan, James (NIH/CIT) [C]]

As a workaround you can try modifying includes/mime.types and add the line:

application/x-zip  oxt

since I don't see a application/x-zip line in the version 1.15.1 mime.types file, in which case you could just add "oxt" to the line.

This will fool Mediawiki into matching the x-zip mime type with the "oxt" extension and allow the upload.

Clayton,

I think the problem is in "file", not the wiki nor anything you've  
done to it.  :-)

Specifically, you say that a "file -bi" reports those files as being  
application/x-zip.
If I correctly recall some similar struggles I've had, that's the  
place to focus - convince "file" that what it is *really* is the MIME  
type for oxt.
