Klaus,
The most important part is that htdig is set up with the correct mime-type
mappings.
I would suggest that you check the header returned by your server somehow:
options include the 'LiveHTTPheaders' extension in Firefox, a direct telnet
to port 80, or verbose options with something like WGET.
That would eliminate any remaining confusion over what mime-type is being used
- as you can see, there is a degree of faith required that the web server picks
the 'correct' mime-type in each case!
If it does turn out to be returning application/octet-stream that needs to be
fixed, but otherwise I would just put in a line for every possible variation of
the WordPerfect mime-type - as you spotted, doc2html makes its own attempt to
identify which kind of document it is given, which is independent of mime-type.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Subject: Re: [htdig] doc2html unable to convert wordperfect
That is a point that I am very uncertain about . Here is what I can
tell after reading more of the documentation.
This is part of my /usr/share/file/magic:
>#WordPerfect type files Version 1.6 - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE
>0 string
\377WPC\020\000\000\000\022\012\001\001\000\000\000\000 (WP) loadable text
>>15 byte 0 Optimized for Intel
>>15 byte 1 Optimized for Non-Intel
>1 string WPC (Corel/WP)
>>8 short 257 WordPerfect macro
(and so on)
This is part of my /etc/mime.types:
>application/wordperfect wpd
>application/wordperfect5.1 wp5
Now if I use the file-command:
>file mswordfile.doc
>mswordfile.doc: Microsoft Office Document
>file -i mswordfile.doc
>mswordfile.doc: application/msword
That's what I would expect. But:
>file wordperfectfile.wpd
>wordperfectfile.wpd: (Corel/WP)
>file -i wordperfectfile.wpd
>wordperfectfile.wpd: application/octet-stream
... seems wrong to me.
On the other hand: how does doc2html identify file-types?
I'm not familiar with perl, but it seems to me that there is some sort
of comparison with "\377" within the perl-script.
In this respect:
>od -b wordperfectfile.wpd | head
>0000000 377 127 120 103 365 007 000 000 001 012 002 001 000 000 000 002
... seems correct to me.
Would this be the information you asked about? What can I do next?
Thanks for your help,
Klaus

Have you got any idea what mime-type your server is putting out for
these
documents?
The key is that what you have in your config file must match what your
server
is saying, regardless of whether either of them is technically correct.
Regards,
Mike
