Hi Pete,
Thanks for the ideas. It looks like I cannot load a document using webDav without adding a unusual file extension to the mime settings for the database. At this point I’m reluctant to add an unusual file extension to the mime settings because of shared use of the database. However I found that I can decode the binary document into text using xdmp:binary-decode supplying either a value of “UTF-8” or “ISO-8859-1” and then build an xml document from the parsed text. This kind of leads into the next issue I am facing, and that is importing, displaying, and exporting HTML character entities such as ´ . Thanks!

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.

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.
