Re: adding mime-type
Hello, I checked it on an other computer yesterday en there it was shown as the intended type (x509-certificate). I used konqueror. Konqueror still tells me it is plain text. However, firefox shows it as a certificate. I tested konqueror on other sites and there is shows the file as a certificate. If someone would want to test it: The certificate is located at the following url: http://bib12.uhasselt.be/ greetings, Michel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
adding mime-type
Hello, I have added a mimetype for the crt-extension to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml-file. I have a file with this extension in the ROOT-webapp-directory. The ROOT-webapp has no web.xml-file. I also restarted tomcat. However, when I open the crt-file, it is still presented as a text-file. Any idea why this is? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do additional steps? I'm using tomcat 5.5.9. greetings and thanks, Michel Brabants - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: adding mime-type
If you are calling it though a servlet I believe you will still need the set the MIME type in the HttpResponse object with a call like response.setContentType(text/html); I am not sure how you would do it for a JSP page. Unless you just went for the inelegant option of % response.setContentType(text/html); % You would clearly need to replace text/html with the MIME type you set up already.

Re: adding mime-type
What client browser are you using. MS IE can ignore the mime-type presented by the server and make decisions based on its own voodoo.

CSS mime-type vs Netscape 7 and Firefox 1
I have added the mime-type for css in Tomcat 3s conf/web.xml file as so: mime-mapping extensioncss/extension mime-typetext/css/mime-type /mime-mapping using the same format as the rest of the file and as TOmcat 4. Yet the server serves the linked css files as text/plain. Why? What can I do about this. The page only breaks in Netscape 7 (6 also I presume) and Firefox, but FF is a target broswer for my project. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Changing the Default Mime Type
The quick version: Is it possible to change the default MIME type on a Tomcat 4.1 server? Currently files with unknown extensions are treated as text/plain. More background: I run a server that runs a Tomcat that is provided by an App Vendor. With their last upgrade they upgrade the Tomcat to 4.1. Before then files with unknown extensions would attempt to download by default. (Presumably the default MIME type was application/unknown.) Now, it attempts to show the files as text, with the MIME type text/plain. I know how to change MIME type for a particular extension, but what I'd really like to do is to change the default used for unknown extensions. Is this possible without editing the source and recompiling? I did notice the change listed in the RELEASE-NOTES-4.1.txt file. Under Catalina Bug Fixes: [4.1.11] DefaultServlet: Assume text file when MIME type is unknown for including purposes. Is their some setting that can undo this fix? Considerable searching on this has proven fruitless so far. Does Tomcat have any configuration setting comparable to Apache's DefaultType?

RE: video/x-ms-wmv mime-type added for wmv files, but doesn't seem to work
Thanks for your response Jeanfrancois, It appeared just to be my now version of Internet Explorer acting up. My manager actually changed his mind a few minutes later and wanted that our users always download the file before viewing it. It makes some sense because the videos are over an hour long. To do this I change the mime-type to application/octet-stream. This works fine for Netscape (i.e. Save As dialog appears), but Internet Explorer just doesn't care and opens media player (grrr). I know this is an IE issue and this also happens with some other mime-types. I guess I develop a servlet and serve the file to the user via that servlet. Then I can add the Content-disposition header so that it downloads as a file. i.e. response.setHeader(Content-disposition, attachment; filename=mediafile.wmv); Thanks, Patrick -Original Message- From: Jeanfrancois Arcand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 12:23 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: video/x-ms-wmv mime-type added for wmv files, but doesn't seem to work Patrick Willart wrote: Hello, I've added the following to my conf/web.xml but it looks like Tomcat (5.0.18) isn't picking this up.

default mime type for tomcat 5
I have some plain text files that are formated but when tomcat 5 serves the pages it loses all formating. This only happens on older browser such as netscape 4.79.

RE: Mime-Type
Mime Type Overview Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. Most Mime types are set globally on the server. For example, the text/html Mime type equates to htm, html, and shtml extensions on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new Mime types specifically for your site (note that you can not alter the global Mime type values, only add to them). Mime types are often used to handle new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared no-one had these extensions set up on their server. With Mime types, however, you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages immediately. Warning: Make sure you check the list of pre-existing Mime types before adding new ones. Check with your hosting administrator before adding a Mime type, as they can easily alter the correct functioning of your web site. Note: People often get confused as to the difference between Mime types and Apache handlers. Basically, Mime types tell your browser how to handle files, while Apache handlers tell the server how to handle files. JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 is an Apache handler not a MIME type. Isn't it.

RE: Mime-Type
Howdy, JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 is an Apache handler not a MIME type. Isn't it. Yup, exactly. It's an Apache handler for the *.jsp file extension. It instructs apache to pass files ending ending .jsp anywhere under the server root directory (hence the /*.jsp as opposed to /someDir/*.jsp) to the Jk connector using the ajp13 protocol. It doesn't say anything about client-side mime types, as Apache itself has no way of knowing what mime type the JSP page will produce. As Mr. Jackson said, it can be dangerous to rely on specific mime-type conventions, as users and system administrators can change those at will. It's kind of like relying on the fact your user's browser will have an address bar. You can do it, and it'll work under controlled circumstances (which may be good enough for your project), but it's unsafe in general.

RE: Mime-Type
petPeeveAlert I'm not going to argue with you, but a file without an extension will still have a mime-type. And a file extension doesn't 100% guarantee that the particular file is what you expect. File extensions are a convenience, nothing more. It's only because some companies (Microsoft) blindly expect the mime-type to be determined by the file extension that we're having this discussion. And this short sitedness is not limited to just Microsoft, but I blame them it popping up in other people's code. Tomcat's own mime-type determination code, ServletContext.getMimetype(), is based on the same short sightedness, at least with version 4.1.12. /petPeeveAlert And yes, JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 is not a mime-type, its a mod_jk setup directive. --mikej -=- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Hostmaster of the day [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 9:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mime-Type Mime Type Overview Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions.

configuring MIME type
Hi, We are using Tomcat as a Web Server as well as a Servlet Engine and what we need to do is to configure the MIME type for Web Server which in our case is Tomcat. We want to configure Tomcat so that all files with the .jnlp file extension are set to the application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type. Tomcat must return application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type for JNLP files in order for the Java Web Start software to be invoked. How can i do this?

Tomcat/IIS + SSL : Mime Type problem
Hi, We have been experiencing some problems with Mime type configuration. We want to allow the download of wpd (WordPerfect) documents through our webapp and with our configuration, we only get junk printed in the browser. Our configuration consist of a single server, Windows 2000, with Tomcat 4.0.6 behing IIS using AJP13. We access all documents directely in the webapp directory through SSL. The new mime types are configured in IIS and in the web.xml of the webapp. Here is the result of our tests: http://server.com:8080/mywebapp/file.wpd - download properly http://server.com/mywebapp/file.wpd - download properly http://server.com/file.wpd - download properly https://server.com/file.wpd - download properly https://server.com/mywebapp/file.wpd - junk Looking at that, it looks like a connector problem with SSL.

Re: mime-type setting
Check out the Tomcat 4.x.x conf/web.xml. You can use that format and that ordering and apply it to your own app's web.xml. I don't think that Tomcat 3.3.x uses a conf/web.xml. Also, take a look at the dtd by downloading it. It specifies the tag order. Use the URI in your dtd declaration of your web.xml file and load that in any browser to download it.

You can't force a save-as because IE ignores the content-type header in many cases. If you search the MSKB you will see various articles about this.

HTTP Redirect, Mime Type, and IE
I apologize if this has already been answered.. I've looked around and can't find anything that works. I have a servlet, coming through Tomcat, that spits out PDF using FOP. So far so good. However, it requires the user to login first. If the user isn't logged in, it redirects the user to an HTML page. If I login, go to the page and generate a PDF file, then things are fine. Up pops Acrobat. If I then restart Tomcat to zap the session, and hit refresh, I see the redirect happen on the server side, but IE pops up with an error. It just shows a little broken image picture. I can do a view source, and I see htmlbody leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 scroll=no embed width=100% height=100% fullscreen=yes src= http://192.168.1.1/servlet/blah?blah=20 http://192.168.1.1/servlet/blah?blah=20;/body/html Any ideas on what's happening here? I was speculating that it was ignoring the redirect, since I don't see the second request come into Tomcat. So what's the deal? Thanks in advance, Brian

problem with mime type?
i am using tomcat 4.0-b5 with JDK 1.3 on a windows 2000 pro system. i removed crimson.jar and jaxp.jar and installed xalan.jar and xerces.jar from the 2.1.0 java dist. the servlet i wrote to do the XML-HTML thing via XSLT works fine. i added a mime type for excel (xls) files in conf/web.xml. i did this just after the entry for application/msword. i tried both application/vnd.ms-excel and application/excel (the former being the propper type, according to IANA). when i request an excel spreadsheet (with IE5) with: http://localhost:8080/foo/EXCEL/bar.xls IE5 does not appear to recognize it as excel. the precise way i am getting this is: * webapps/foo is my app * i ask for URL http://localhost:8080/foo/ which gives me index.html in the foo dir * index.html has 3 frames which are in foo/frames * one of the frames has a link to ../EXCEL/bar.xls which gets translated to the URL above. if, instead, i use file://%CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/foo/EXCEL/bar.xls (where %CATALINA_HOME% is like C:/Jakarta/tomcat/4.0-b5) in the link, it works fine (ie, IE5 opens the file as excel). is it me or is this a bug in tomcat? i am fairly certain that apache 1.3.x does this correctly on both NT and unix (hpux). note: i restarted tomcat after changing conf/web.xml with a shutdown/startup cycle. just in case my servlet is somehow intercepting, in doGet() i do a request.getReqestURI() and test endsWith(xls) on the string.

Tomcat 3.2.1/Mime type ignored
I am unable to get Tomcat 3.2.1 to recognise any new mime types that I enter into the conf/web.xml file. Tomcat seems to ignore these new mime types and returns the document as a text/plain document. I have looked at the FAQ and there is already a query from a user stating that he has the same problem but I did not see any answers or acknowledements that this is a genuine problem and will/has been fixed. Is there any workaround? Regards Sanjay - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Tomcat 3.2.1/Mime type ignored
I have tried inserting the mime type declarations into the individual webapp/web.xml file but it still does not work. Additionally files which have a filename like test.sample.xxx where xxx is the mime type are not treated as files with mime type xxx but if I rename the file to be testSample.xxx then they are treated as the correct mime type. /sanjay -Original Message- From: William Brogden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 2:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tomcat 3.2.1/Mime type ignored Sanjay Madhavan wrote: I am unable to get Tomcat 3.2.1 to recognise any new mime types that I enter into the conf/web.xml file.

MIME-type filter
Hi everyone~~ I'd like to know that Tomcat4.0 can support MIME-type filter. and if it does, how to config and use?
Re: Q: PDF mime type not working
Hi, Are you using Internet Explorer to view the page? In our experience, the newer versions (I'm not sure if it's all the 5.x series or only 5.5) no longer are willing to honor the complete MIME protocol -- although amazingly enough, they do recognize MS Word and Excel files. Try using Netscape and see if that helps. If this is the source of your problem, there is no workaround to the best of my knowledge. -- Eric Johnson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perfectionism is the enemy of creation... -- John Updike On Fri, 29 Dec 2000, Michael Wentzel wrote: I have written a Servlet that generates a pdf on the fly and outputs the result to the browser but all that ends up happening is the raw text get displayed instead of starting the adobe helper app and loading the generated doc.

Thanks, actually it was just a stupid mistake by me. I setContentType before I got the OutputStream instead of after and so it actually though it was just a raw OutputStream. We are using IE ver 5.0 and it still seems to support the mime protocol(What a MS-ish thing to do...). That's a good thing to know about the higher versions of IE though.

Problems with MIME-type mappings
Hi folks, I have recently started to use a tomcat-3.2.1 instead of the old tomcat-3.1 version and encountered a strange configuration problem. Currently I have mapped the old tomcat version 3.1 to the port 8080 and new one (3.2.1) to 8088. Both use the same /conf/web.xml file (with no differences): [immo@jimbo immo]$ diff jakarta-tomcat/conf/web.xml jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf/web.xml [immo@jimbo immo]$ which also includes the appropriate MIME-mapping for wap/wml-MIME type: mime-mapping extension wml /extension mime-type text/vnd.wap.wml /mime-type /mime-mapping I also imagine that both server.xml configuration files are properly configured (?), TOMCAT_HOME is set. etc I have the same application (or the context) on both versions , this is under the 3.2.1.-version: [immo@jimbo immo]$ ls jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/* jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/WEB-INF: classes lib web.xml web.xml~ jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/wml: SPLLregister.wml start.wml start.wml~ and exactly the same structure under tomcat-3.1 folders: [immo@jimbo immo]$ ls jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/* jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/WEB-INF: classes lib web.xml web.xml~ jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/wml: SPLLregister.wml start.wml start.wml~ so basically those are identical. But now the problem- when accessing different tomcat versions the HTTP Content-type headers differ. Here is what is given form the new version (tomcat-3.2.1) (accessing the port via telnet for a demonstrating purpose): [immo@jimbo immo]$ telnet localhost 8088 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to jimbo.tte.vtt.fi. Escape character is '^]'. GET /spll/wml/start.wml HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain Content-Length: 1552 Last-Modified: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 10:44:32 GMT Servlet-Engine: Tomcat Web Server/3.2.1 (JSP 1.1; Servlet 2.2; Java 1.3.0beta; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i386; java.ven dor=Sun Microsystems Inc.) ?xml version="1.0"? and here is from the old version (Tomcat-3.1): [immo@jimbo immo]$ telnet localhost 8080 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to jimbo.tte.vtt.fi. Escape character is '^]'. GET /spll/wml/start.wml HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 08:17:42 GMT Status: 200 Servlet-Engine: Tomcat Web Server/3.1 (JSP 1.1; Servlet 2.2; Java 1.3.0beta; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i386; java.vendo r=Sun Microsystems Inc.) Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml Last-Modified: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 10:44:32 GMT Content-Length: 1552 Content-Language: en ?xml version="1.0"?` Note the difference : text/plain versus text/vnd.wap.wml ! Now the question is , what I'm doing wrong or what/how should I configure Tomcat 3.2.1 that the /conf/web.xml - file will also be valid for the newversion (so that I will get a text/vnd.wap.wml - header from.wml files ) ?? Now it doesn't seem to have any effects with Tomcat 3.2.1. Servlets are working similar way on both configurations, but these static wml-files are the problem. Any help is appreciated ! Regards, Immo

It seems to me that tomcat doesn't read "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml" file. Nor such messages printed on the dos prompt window. You are correct -- Tomcat 3.2 does *not* read the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml file. You should be placing your MIME mappings in the WEB-INF/web.xml file for your own application. Craig McClanahan
Tomcat3.2 final doesn't support user defined MIME type
Hi, Tomcat Developers: Excuse me if this bug has been already reported. I also reported this bug into Bugrat system. ID629. Bug: Tomcat3.2 doesn't support user defined MIME type in added "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml". Instead, it returns text/plain. Environment: Windows NT, Service Pack 5. Pantium III. 2 Processors. 256MB RAM. Reproduce: Deploy an application on Tomcat3.2 for client downloading throught Java Web Start 1.0. It is working perfect on Tomcat3.1Beta. Haven't tested on Tomcat3.1. Work Around: By looking into source code provided, org.apache.tomcat.util.MimeMap class provides a default map and a user defined map. There is also a method: addContentType() which is used to add a user defined type into the user defined map. But by searching the whole source, there is only one class: org.apache.tomcat.core.Context calls this inside its own addContentType() method. So actually this is never been called to add a user defined mime type. Another prove is: after I delete "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml" file, the tomecat still starts up without complaining or error. It seems to me that tomcat doesn't read "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml" file. Nor such messages printed on the dos prompt window. Work around: In org.apache.tomcat.util.MimeMap.java I added one more line in Static initializer: defaultMap.put("jnlp", "application/x-java-jnlp-file"); and I recompiled this class, overwrote the one in TOMCAT_HOME\lib\webserver.jar. Finally it returns the correct mime type for jnlp. Thanks for your time. Regards Jason Zhu Java Programmer time:frame Beacon IT Group Phone: 0061-2-9413 3522 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Tomcat3.2 final doesn't support user defined MIME type
Bug: Tomcat3.2 doesn't support user defined MIME type in added "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml". Instead, it returns text/plain. You should set the MIME types in the webapplication's web.xml. This has been a source of confusion in the past, and a big mistake - if you want portable web applications you need to define all the settings for the application in WEB-INF/web.xml - not in tomcat's config. In the past, tomcat used to read TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml as a configuration file - that was before server.xml was really used. It was a nice and cool idea initially - but it was very wrong as it led to a lot of confusion in the code and for the users. Another prove is: after I delete "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml" file, the tomecat still starts up without complaining or error. It seems to me that tomcat doesn't read "TOMCAT_HOME\conf\web.xml" file. Nor such messages printed on the dos prompt window. That's perfectly true. All server configuration is in server.xml The best workaround is to define the setting in your application's web.xml file. Thanks for the report, Costin
