So if I understand correctly there are two possibilities: 1. A bundle was added at some point which changed the MIME mappings for PNG. Am I correct in assuming that any change would be reflected in the MIME registry as viewed from the Web Console? The mapping looks correct in my current installation.
2. Something has changed about the way the file is POSTed to the Sling servlet. I have not been able to identify any significant change, but my next step will be to debug this using a web proxy and compare now vs. 3 months ago. Are there any other things I should be looking at? -----Original Message----- From: Steven Walters [mailto:steven.walt...@icidigital.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2015 3:10 PM To: users@sling.apache.org Subject: Re: Uploaded file MIME type On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 2:46 PM, Roll, Kevin <kevin-r...@idexx.com> wrote: > I am trying to upload a PNG file to the repository, using the > SlingPostServlet.

There's quite a number of rules for auto-selecting the mimetype, so reviewing the details on [1] would be my suggestion here. The mimetype registry may have changed without your knowledge, so confirming that it is correct (has the expected value) would be a first step.
