Hi, Our WebDAV server currently uses the simple o.a.j.server.io.MimeResolver class for automatically inferring the MIME media types of documents. This class can only detect types based on file extensions and incoming type hints and the default type table we include is not very extensive.
We could improve this situation by using the Detector [1] interface and the related default configuration from Apache Tika. This way we could massively extend the number of supported types and also get content-based type detection (magic bytes) almost for free. The Detector interface and all the related classes and configuration entries are included in the relatively small tika-core component that has no external dependencies, so the impact on jackrabbit-jcr-server dependencies would be reasonable.
