Case sensitive file extensions on mime.types?

Hello,
I'm facing a weird problem at customers's site.
There is an iAS 10.1.3.3 installation on a Windows 2000 server. There is an OC4J container called "OC4J_FR" where their application is depoyed.
The trouble we're facing is the following:
on the %ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/OC4J_FR/config/mime.types we add the following 2 entries:
image/tiff                    tif tiff
application/vnd.ms-excel     xls
So, when we put someFile.tif (or someOther.xls) under the container public directory it is possible for users to access them via the URL
http://servername:port/webContextRoot/someFile.tif
And this works OK.
If we try to rename the above file into something like myFile.TIFF (please note the extension in uppercase) Internet Explorer opens it like text, wiring this "rubbish":
II*Àg ÒgL1ÂÊ$(2ÈdÙ¨¦Í@6j)³P‘<mò°Ú¨³
etc....
While Firefox opens it correctly. I also tried to add on mime.types the following (even if on the Apache website it is told that this is useless...)
image/tiff                    TIF TIFF
But still it doesn't work.
Any hints/patches/workarounds/ideas/anything?
Thanks,
- Paolo

Can't really say what's wrong but I quickly tried it with OHS (Oracle HTTP Server) and it works fine both in Firefox 3.0 and IE 6.0 without making any change (in mime type configuration). I copied two tiff files (sample1.tiff and sample2.TIFF) in $OH/Apache/Apache/htdocs directory and then was successfully able to access both using http://host.domain:ohs_port/sample1.tiff and http://host.domain:ohs_port/sample2.TIFF.
When you say you tried with Apache website, is above what you tried too?
Thanks

  • CS5.5 Master Collection on Case-Sensitive File System

    Hello,
    The first thing I'll say is that I already know it's not possible to install on a case-sensitive file system.
    So, on to my question.  I have been tasked to find out a way to get this installed on our 30-35 Macs with case-sensitive file systems (required for other courses/tasks, so not an option to format.)  I was trying to think of a work-around that would let me install and use the CS5.5 Master Collection, but have not been successful yet.  Please note, I am not looking for a hack or extensive renaming of a bunch of files or other half-solutions I've found.
    Basically, what I was wondering is, if I go into Disk Utility and create a 35GB "Disk Image", mount that, and then try to install, why doesn't that work?  I mean, I am technically trying to install to a case-insensitive file system at that point, but CS5.5 still pops up with an error.  Has anyone gotten this type of solution to work, or any other for that matter?  Luckily my college hasn't bought the licenses for all these systems yet, but when a solution is found, they're jumping on it right away.  The main reason I don't want a "hacky" solution is that being deployed on 30-35 systems, this has to be a simple solution, not something that takes hours per system.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated.
    Jeffrey Simmons

    Thank you for the information, I had a hunch it was installing stuff elsewhere too, but wasn't 100% sure.  As for the problem, I ended up just converting to a case-insensitive boot partition.  To others who may want to do this, I used iPartition without a problem.  The only catch is, you can't just run it from the OS drive, you either have to burn a iPartition Boot DVD (requires you have your OS dvd as well), or do what I did and just install OSX to an external drive, install iPartition, then convert the file system on the regular OS drive.  A bit of a hassle, but you don't have to format your system. 
    CS5.5 Master Collection then installed fine, with no problems.  Unfortunately, Photoshop keeps repeatedly crashing.  It's fine for hours, then crashes 4+ times within an hour.  Repeats this over and over unfortunately.  Adobe support hasn't been helpful at all, so I'm just going to return this software and continue using Gimp.  It has always done everything I wanted, but I wanted the "name brand" software.  In the end, it's not worth the hassle, and definitely not worth losing my work over and over, so back to the store it goes.  Thanks again for taking the time to help out though.

  • File Download and Mime-Types

    I have some files (txt, xls, rtf, pdf) that need to be downloaded from our site. I

    Go to IIS Management console. At the server level, go to MIME Types. Add a new MIME type:
    File name extension:
    .mp4
    MIME type:
    video/mp4
    Restart IIS (can't remember if this is required).

  • CS4 and Case Sensitive File Systems

    Does anyone know if CS4 will support case sensitive file systems?

    While I do wish all software companies including Apple completely
    supported the case-sensitive file system. Many don't. I cannot pull up
    an article, but I remember reading that Apple only recommended the use
    of the case-sensitive file system for OS X server and if memory serves
    even for that it only recommended it for the attached hard drives.
    We can lament the lack of support but if you really want to change the
    status quo for Adobe products then the only useful way to do so is:

  • Case-Sensitive File System?

    I downloaded the trial for Flash CS4 pro and it won't install on my computer.
    It says:
    System Requirements Error
    This software cannot be installed because the file system of the OS volume is not supported. The OS volume should be local , writable and should have non case-sensitive file system
    Anything I can do to get it to work? I have a MBP running Leopard on an intel processor.

    that's your problem. Lots of apps have problems with case sensitive drives so you should never use case sensitive file system unless you have a compelling reason to do so. Your only recourse now is to move your data to a non case sensitive drive. Clone your hard drive to an external drive, boot from the leopard install DVD, reformat the drive non case sensitive and install leopard on it. then use migration assistant to migrate your data from the external.

  • ColdFusion Builder with case sensitive file system on Mac?

    Hi there,
    I tried to install CF Builder on my MacBook Pro (Intel), OS-X 10.5.7 with case sensitive file system. Installation went smoothly, but, when I try to launch CF Builder, I get an error saying that the "architecture is not supported". Is it just nor possible to have CF Builder on a case sensitive fs?
    Thank you

    I am having the same issue and logged in here to see what the deal is.
    After I installed cfbuilder my flex builder crapped out as well.
    The cfbuilder logs (which were conveniently scattered throughout my system for no reason) report that I am running:

  • What is HFS case sensitive file system

    What is HFS case sensitive file system?

    FlowerChick,
    a HFS case-sensitive filesystem would allow you to have files that differ only by case in the same folder; for example, you could have different files named “FlowerChick” and “flowerchick” in the same folder. On a case-insensitive filesystem, that wouldn’t be allowed.

  • Ristretto or maybe generic mime.types issue: case of file extension?

    Good day.
    Ristretto (the XFCE image viewer) wouldn't recognize the .TIF files I copied over from a Windows partition until I renamed them to .tif. Lowercase .tiff and .tif are indeed the only two file extensions that are mentioned for image/tiff in /etc/mime.types but I thought this was somewhat unexpected (and unwanted).
    Is it a per-app decision whether or not to do case-sensitive extension compares? Is it a problem? And if so, in mime.types or in ristretto?

  • 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.

  • CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

    I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
    I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
    The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
    So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
    I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
    I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.

    That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things.  Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
    Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse.  And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
    Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files.  This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
    For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
    "@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
    When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using.  The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem.  I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
    And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company.  This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
    Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders.  I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names.  This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
    Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule.  This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view.  It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this. 
    It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
    I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf.  Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

  • Print dialog options in case sensitive file system

    Since changing the file system running Lion and Mountain Lion from Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), certain features in print dialogs have disappeared.
    Particularly the option to print notes with slides in Microsoft Powerpoint are gone. Also, when choosing to print only 1 (or more, but not all) of multiple pages in Microsoft Word, the printer will nevertheless print all pages.
    This problem occurs on printers of different brands, i.e. HP, Lexmark, Brother.
    I was able to determine this problem by reproducing the issue on a cleanly installed Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8 formatted as Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) vs a cleanly installed Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8 formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), not Case-sensitive.
    Has anyone else had the same problem and maybe a solution?

    I just fixed this on my Mac. It is a bug in Microsoft Office... the Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) for Powerpoint is located in a directory named "Plugins", but PowerPoint is looking for it in "PlugIns". This obviously does not work in a case-sensitive filesystem.
    Here are the steps to fix the issue:

  • HFS and case sensitive file systems

    I recently received a pre-installed Macbook. The file system is HFS+ (Apple_HFS according to 'diskutil list').
    This file system is not case sensitive but I would like it to be. Is there a way to deactivate the HFS wrapper responsible for that without formatting the disk and re-installing the OS from scratch ?

    I got issues synchronizing my linux account with my macosx account
    If it's home directory contents that's the issue, you might consider simply partitioning your drive and creating a separate home directory partition that is case sensitive, separate from the boot partition tht is not.
    Assuming you're on an Intel-based machine, you can resize the existing partition to make room, then create a new case-sensitive partition and move your home directory there.
    Now your account synchronization shouldn't have an issue and you didn't have to re-install the entire OS.

  • Ho to reformat to a non  case sensitive file

    How to reformat to a non  case sensitive file

    If you want quotes around all the fields, and you currently
    have quotes around
    none of the fields, you could probably do this using
    find-and-replace in a word processor.
    Open up the CSV file with 'word' or a similar word processor.
    The important thing is that the word processor must be able to do a
    find and replace on 'special' characters, like 'return'.
    Use find and replace to:
    Replace all 'comma' characters with the sequence: quote comma
    quote
    Replace all 'return' characters with the sequence: quote
    return quote
    You should then find that your CSV text has quotes around
    every record, but you'll have an extra quote character at the very
    start and very end of the file (on separate lines), which you'll
    need to delete by hand.
    Of course, make a backup of your data first - and this won't
    work if some of your columns already have quotes, or if some of
    your fields actually use the 'comma' character inside the field
    data.

  • Mapping file extension to content type

    After installing "The Unarchiver" from AppStore, all files with file extension ".000", ".001", ".002",... are recoginzed as RAR archives and their icons and meta data (KMDItemContentType and kMDItemContentTypeTree) is changed to include "com.rarlab.rar-archive". This continues even after removing "The Unarchiver" from my /Applications folder. How can I stop this? I'm using the mentioned file extensions for other things and I don't want them to be linked to "com.rarlab.rar-archive". Any suggestions? Is there a way to remove the kMDItemContentType = "com.rarlab.rar-archive" from many files (preferably with a script in Terminal)?

    Thanks for your remark, Tony T1! Yes, "Get Info" can be used to choose the application to open the files. However, this does not answer my question. My question is, how can I change kMDItemContentType in the meta data of (many) files and tell an application (The Unarchiver) not to touch files with certain file extensions (e.g. ".000" or ".001"), preferably using Terminal?

  • Case Sensitive File Names

    Hi...
    I've been trying out the trial version of RH8, before
    upgrading from RH7. One of the problems I have noticed is the
    option to "Use Lowercase File Names (Recommended for UNIX)" in the
    Single Source Layouts setting, only works for actual pages in the
    project. As i have a number of PDF's as baggage files (that now get
    indexed), when they are returned in the search results, I just get
    a "Not Found" error. This is because it is not correctly putting
    the folder names or file names in lower case.
    Does anyone know a solution or workaround for this? (aside
    from renaming all files/folders!). Or know where I can submit this
    as a bug?
    Thanks...

    Bug/Feature requests can be filed
    here..
    As a workaround, you could try renaming your baggage files - for
    example File.pdf to file1.pdf and then to file.pdf. You'd need ot
    delete and add the baggage file references though. An alternative
    is to exclude the baggage file type from the search. You can find
    out how to do this from the latest post on my blog.
