Mime Type issue with .docx Files in Apex 4.0
We are having issues with windows 2007 .docx documents that are when they are viewed on windows 2007 machines with ie8. If I look in the storage table the mime type is not set correctly. It is being set as application/octet-stream. When we download the file one windows 7/IE8 either the browser thinks it is a zip file or it does not recognize it.
If I go into the back end and update the table with the correct mime type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document it works fine.
We have tried to update mime types on the apache server but this does not help.
Apex seems to be deciding what mime type to populate the table with.
It seems like I need to update apex somehow to recognize that a .docx extension should be stored as type mime type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.
Does anyone know how I would do this?
We are running Apex 4 on 10g IAS with mod/plsql
are application is setup very similar to what is describe in this document by David Peak
