Automatically open file based on MIME type and file extension
We have an app that is registered to handle custom MIME type and file extension. This works perfectly on IE and FireFox causing them to download the file to a temp folder and then launch our app associated with MIME type and file extension with command line to the downloaded file. On Safari however this does not work. It opens up a download window and shows that it has downloaded the file with no option to open it.
hello, you can file a bug on bugzilla.mozilla.org if you want to include your plugin in the plugin finder service...

Mime-type and/or extension of script file
I would like to generate a script file dynamically on my web server and then have it downloaded to my users such that they can simply double-click the file and have it execute. I've gotten pretty close by using the ".command" extension, but it still requires a "chmod +x filename" after download in order to work properly. Is there another extension or a mime-type that I could use that would cause Mac OS X 10.4 and/or 10.5 to grant execute rights to the user that downloaded it? I'm not married to it being shell script if it can be done with AppleScript, Ruby, etc that would be great. It basically just has to be text file (non-binary format) so I can dynamically generate it on the server side.
Hi Daniel,
do you use EPG, mod_plsql or APEX Listener? Have you changed the connection mechanism after upgrading to 4.2.1?
If you use the APEX Listener, which version do you use? Which browser and version do you use to upload the file? Does it reproduce with other browsers as well?

Identifying the correct MIME type for file uploads
How does Apex identify the MIME type of an uploaded file? I have a page that uploads a file and accesses it via APEX_APPLICATION_FILES. That works fine. The problem is that, for certain file types, the mime_types column is "application/octet-stream" instead of the correct file type. I think it's using the Content-Type from the client browser, though I'm not quite sure. Is there any way to override this server-side in Apex?
I'm running Apex with mod_plsql. Adding an AddType directive to Apache and adding the correct association to the mime.types file did not work.Hi,
I also noticed this - it seems that Microsoft's 4 char extensions like .docx are not being recognized by application type so that either the web server or mod-plsql is defaulting to the "application/octet-stream" mime type which refers to a file with binary content - instead of the traditional "application/msword" mime type you would expect.
If you know, at the point of insert into your database table, both the mime type and file name, one workaround would be to check if the mime type is 'application/octet-stream' and the file's extension is ".docx" or other likely extensions and then treat it as mime type 'application/msword", etc.
Not really a solution but might be sufficient workaround depending on your situation.

Get Uploaded File Mime Type and Client Filename
Anyone know how to recover an uploaded file MIME type and
client file name?
I'm writing my own cfx tag to process file uploads and pretty
much have it figured out except to determine the name of the client
file and mime type. The formfield file variable value contains the
path/filename to the CF temp directory, but I need the MIME type,
filename, etc. that is contained int he HTTP Header
(e.g. Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Image";
filename="C:\test.JPG"
Content-Type: image/pjpeg
[empty line])
I'm using the getHttpRequestData() functiont, but it only
gives me the content-type multipart/form-data, leaving out the Mime
type and Content-Disposition (which contains the client file name).Hi Daniel,
do you use EPG, mod_plsql or APEX Listener? Have you changed the connection mechanism after upgrading to 4.2.1?
If you use the APEX Listener, which version do you use? Which browser and version do you use to upload the file? Does it reproduce with other browsers as well?

Hi
after my last update yesterday I have got some problems with some mime-types. Directly after the update pacman said the following:

I also get a similar message when I try to install awn-extras from AUR altough it is installable (but not fully functional).

It says, that the schema isnt found. Do you have any solutions?

XHTML 1.1 documents should be delivered as
application/xhtml+xml. This
is not recommended, since IE doesn't support this MIME type.
So switch
back to XHTML 1.0 Strict, which can also be delivered as
text/html.

Disable the Item Availability Button based on Order type and Item category
Hi ,
My requirement is to disable the Item availability check button in VA01 based on the Order Type & Item category. Is there any user Exits/ Badi / FM available for this.
Thanks in advance.
Srinivas.Hi,
Although it is an old post I need to answer for people who search an answer to the same type of question. To hide a field
you can use transaction variant 'tcode:SHD0'. But it is not based on Order type and Item category. May be you can use
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION form in user-exit MV45AFZZ. You can loop at screen and set screen-active = 0 in fields
where you want them to be inactive. -
iMac 500GB HDD occupied by 499.25 GB "other" files while all other types of files show "0 KB", what gives?
I've tried cleaning up the HDD from HD tool twice and pressed command-option-P-R while restarting the Mac afterwards. The avaliable HDD space "improved" from 1.3 MB to 121 MB after the first restart and descresed down to 119MB after the second restart. I have kept very little AV files as well as doucment files. My application programs are just several GB. Is this a system problem. Do I have to reinstall the system?
Much appreciate any advice!!

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.
King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

File/Open Dialog Box / Setting MIME type
In my application, I am calling a web service that returns text that I need to download into an EDI application. I am simply looking to have an open/file dialog box open when the text is returned. I was using the following code in a PL/SQL process:
begin
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="EDIOuput.edi"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
end;
The problem is the HTML code that comes along with the text that is returned. Is there a way to simple call the procedure on a page that only containes the raw data?
Thank you.HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.
Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].

I'm running OS 10.6.8 on my 3.06 GHz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo. I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2. I'm not sure when the trouble started but I attempted a restore when the iPod would not play correctly. It would start to play a file and get stuck on 0 seconds. If I put the iPod on shufle, it will stall on 0 seconds for 15 seconds or so and then move on to the next track and stall again and so on. Seemingly randomly, it will play a few tracks but eventually start skipping again. This will continue until the battery is depleted which is fairly quick since the drive is constantly spinning.
My 160GB iPod Classic after restore attempts now is up to date with 2.0.4. and of course, nothing works as it should and I would say the skipping issue is worse than ever.
When I connect with any of three USB connectors, the iPod mounts to the desktop as a grey/silver disk drive picon exactly like the Macintosh HD picon. Then Finder will stall for a few minutes- spinning pinwheel. Somehow, the dock is never affected and I am able to open other applications like Safari or tab through open windows- just no action on the desktop. Eventually, iTunes automatically opens and Finder becomes responsive again. At this point the grey drive picon on the desktop becomes a white drive mount picon, but the iPod does not mount in iTunes, yet. At some point, the iPod attempts to sync, iTunes crashes with the spinning pinwheel and eventually times out and I am prompted to restore the iPod again. Once restored, the iPod properly mounts under devices in iTunes and, as I have done this several times, even occasionally changes to the regular iPod picon on the desktop.
I have restored several times going as far a completely deleting iTunes from my iMac, downloading the latest directly from Apple.com, and attempting to restore again, but to no avail.
I have even used the disk utility to verify and/or repair my Macintosh HD and iPod.
It seems lots of folks are going through this ordeal. Has anyone had any success in fixing the issue, even if only temporarily?one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?
