Hi! I have a peculiar support problem on my hands: A lecturer is uploading perfectly ordinary PDF docs and ILIAS sets the MIME type quite wrongly to text/html. I cannot reproduce this. When I upload the same documents, the correct MIME type application/pdf is set. The docs all have the correct .pdf ending. She is using Firefox on Windows. What can be the cause of this?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris!

There are several mime Type & pdf-bugreports in Mantis. Maybe the cases or solutions are connected? Have you already been searching?

e.g.
http://www.ilias.de/mantis/view.php?id=4488 (3.10.6)
http://www.ilias.de/mantis/view.php?id=3516 (3.9.3)
http://www.ilias.de/mantis/view.php?id=4137 (3.9.6)
etc.

Hi Little,

No, I thought I’d ask here first … ;)

The first Mantis bug seems to come closest.

Thanks for the pointers!

Chris

Hi

There are two ways of getting a mimeType. One is to believe in the browsers suggestion and the other one is to determine it in ilias itself. I guess ilias believe in the browsers suggestion. Unfortunately in your case Firefox seems to send a wrong mimeType. Can your lecturer check if the upload works using Internet Explorer?
