Either. You can set mimetype implicitly or explicitly in MarkLogic:

Implicitly:
http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/formats#id_39990 (See Mimetypes in 
left pane on Admin UI)

Explicitly:
http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/formats#id_38692

The pro tip suggested in the docs is to explicitly set the format.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Text mime mapping a file with an unusual file 
extension

Hi Folks,

I am loading a document into MarkLogic that has an unusual file extension which 
for sale of discussion I will call “.oth”.  If I rename the file with a .txt 
extension then I can easily tokenize it as a huge text string, but a 
nonstandard extension it is not treated as text.  I want to associate the file 
as a text file, but what I would like to know is if I can import the file, 
e.g., File.oth using webdav and then set the mime type in my xquery, or if the 
mime type needs to be preconfigured in the database.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Tim M.
