.indd File Mime type

Could anybody tell me what the mime type for .indd files are?
Am trying to allow indesign files into our DMS but I need the mimetype, can only find it associted with "application/octet-stream" but this mimetype allows things like .exe files etc
Is there is specific mime type for indesign files and other adobe products file extensions like for pdf = "application/pdf"
Thanks.

Indeed, hastingsr is correct.
There is no official MIME type for InDesign -- it does not appear in the IANA's listing: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/index.html.
But if you consult the XMP metadata that InDesign writes, it identifies itself in the Dublin Core metadata as application/x-indesign:
<dc:format>application/x-indesign</dc:format>
application/x- types are not covered in a registry, and are basically a free-for-all, but the IETF has realized that's not the best move, and that state is changing. See http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash (Deprecating Use of the "X-" Prefix in Application Protocols. P. Saint-Andre, D. Crocker, and M. Nottingham. October 24, 2011).
More than you wanted to know? :)

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?

[CLOSED] Graphical file/mime type association editor?

Is anyone aware of a general-purpose (i.e. not belonging necessarily to one of the major DEs) file/mime type association editor? I'd like to be able to change the default applications of a given file-type independently of the DE. In particular, I'd like to know how to set a default file manager.
Last edited by nbtrap (2011-10-31 19:39:10)

It doesn't look like there is a desktop-independent GUI for editing filetype associations. As far as I now understand, the concept itself it practically meaningless since DEs that conform to xdg standards have their own sets of associations. At any rate, the xdg-* tools are actually quite easy to work with. And I don't see any difference between mimeo and xdg-open. Thank you both for your help.

How are Static File mime types determined?

How does APEX determine the mime type for imported static files?
We have a number of javascript files in our application, some of which are listed on the Static Files page as "text/html" and some are "text/plain". But some are imported as "application/octet-stream" which prevents them from being edited within APEX.
All of these files contain plain text javascript functions.
File sizes range from 539 bytes to 21251 bytes
We tried changing the extensions from ".js" to ".jscript" and reimported them. They were all given a mime type of "text/plain". But one file was misnamed with the extension ".jsript", so we deleted it, changed the extension to ".jscript" and re-imported it. It was imported as "application/octet-stream" even though it was exactly the same file just renamed!
What's going on?

I am trying to use a rather older programming language called Mozart, an extension of OZ. I installed it as a binary, but instead of storing its component binaries in a place like /usr/local/oz/bin/. they are all enclosed inside the /Applications/Mozart.app/Contents/Resources/bin/. which cannot be opened nor can a soft link be made to it located outside the Mozart.app wrapper.
The only alternative is to try to edit the mimeTypes.rdf files, and give it the full path name to the inside of Mozart.app were the program used for web applications is stored. It is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Mozart/, which can only be accessed in more recent Mac OS X by going to finder and holding the Option key while opening the Go menu; this will make the ~/Library visible and accessible.

Uploading files Mime Type not correct for Office 2007 default extensions.

hi all,
My company has recently moved over to MS Office 2007 and the default extensions for word, excel etc are now .docx, xlsx etc (ie xml based).
Unfortunately now when we upload files through APEX to the database the MIME TYPE value for these files isn't being recognised and not loadeding correctly into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table and subsequently any future retrieval of these files fails.
I could put some logic inthe up load procedure to look at the filename in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and hard code in the releavnt mime types but this still causes problems when retrieving the content.
Has anyone come across this and got a workround? Is it a bug in AE?

James
FYI - using APEX 3.0.2 over 11G.

I have not any response to my question and not sure if it is in Apex I need to look or the tomcat server that I need to look. I have a useful application to try to show others what Apex can do for our customers to collaborate. However, most of our customers are using office 2007 so, hoping this is possible.
I am using apex 3.2.0.00.27 if that helps someone to point me where to find more info on being able to have Word 2007 or excel 2007 fire up to open a .docx or .xlss file stored in a table blob column. Word or Excel does fire up to open .doc and .xls files.
The following is the query for a report selecting the filenames uploaded into a blob column in my table:
{ SELECT s.ID, SUBSTR(s.NAME,INSTR(s.NAME, '/',1,1)+1,length(s.NAME)) SHORT_FNAME, s.SUBJECT
FROM spp_attachments s
WHERE s.PROGRAM_ID = :P2_PROGRAMID }
Below is the stored procedure called from the link on the short_fname column in report query above.
{ create or replace PROCEDURE download_file(p_file IN number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
APEX_APPLICATION.G_FLOW_ID :=245;
IF NOT (wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid) then
owa_util.status_line(404, 'Page Not Found',true);
return;
else
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM spp_attachments
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'),
FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(REPLACE(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),NULL),chr(13),NULL)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end if;
end download_file; }
Thank you,

Determine file MIME types

How can I determine the mime type of a file dynamically?
I have created a simple servlet to help download files,
but I need to set the content type dynamically
(currently I have it hard-coded).
Any suggestions?

Okay! so I added the following code and now I get a NullPointerException on the setContentType method of the HttpServletRequest, because getContentTypeFor is returning null. Any ideas? see code ...
<code>
File file = new File( extendedPath + fileNm );
// new code to get content type (also tried with file.getAbsolutePath() )
String contentType = URLConnection.getFileNameMap().getContentTypeFor( file.getName() );
response.setContentType( contentType );
</code>

Re: Detecting a files MIME type from a servlet

Try using 'application/octet-stream' for all the file types.

Pacman -Syu fails due to mime.types[SOLVED]

Hi All,
pacman -Syu results in:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
mime-types: /etc/mime.types exists in filesystem
Is it safe to mv mime.types and retry the system upgrade?
I have Gnome and KDE installed. I currently use KDE and this is "the" KED4.1 upgrade.
Thanks.
Last edited by whot (2008-08-19 01:03:49)

pacman -Qo /etc/mime.types, showed no owner for the file.
Performed:
pacman -Rn mime-types
pacman -S mime-types
pacman -Syu
System upgrade finished with no further problems. Machine booted to KDE4.1
I've noticed a few things with KDE4.1:
DUUUUDE, where's my data?!!? (calendar data, pim data, etc.)
It seems a bit slow to respond. I don't know if this is a kernel26 upgrade issue or it's the first time
applications are being used so "things" are being set-up/configured for the first time.
All in all, smooth upgrade to KDE4.1. Thank you, devs.
Thanks for your help, fwojciec.

MIME-TYPE is stored incorrectly sometimes, browsers can't display html content

Our company is switching from Netscape Communicator to Internet Explorer 5.5 . This resulted sometimes in html-documents which could not be opened in netscape anymore, but caused the save-as dialogue box to pop-up.
Analysis of this problem, with the aid of Oracle Support, showed some html-documents were stored in WWV_DOCUMENT with mime-type application/octer-stream. This is a mime type which should trigger the save-as pop-up dialogue in browsers. Netscape acts accordingly, but IE does display the content normally.
The following events cause this problem:
1. create a html document using a microsoft office product (word/excel)
2. DON'T close the document in the office application
3. Use the portal wizard to upload the file to a content area
4. Use table WWV_THINGS and WWV_DOCUMENT and see mime-type isn't text/html but application/octet-stream
5. IE shows the file, NN wants to save it.
The workaround to this problem is to close the file in MSOffice before uploading it.
Oracle Development confirmed it's the browser which sends this incorrect mime-type, and portal just stores this type. It seems this mime-type is overruling the extension to mime-type mapping in the configuration of Apache, using AddType or the file mime.types.
So the mime-types defined in apache are only used outside mod_plsql, that is, when files from the filesystem of the webserver itself are used.
When uploading a zip-file, and unzipping it in the database, all files get the right mime-type. It seems in this situation the mime-type is determined by looking either at the file-extention or the magic bits.
Oracle says it's a microsoft bug, so I'll have to ask Bill for a fix.
They are probably right, and I think I could reproduce this using CGI-scripting without modplsql and portal.
But:
It seems not logically to me that it depends on the method of uploading files (single files, or zipped files) which method of mime-type determination is used.
Furthermore, I find it strange that it depends on the storage location of the file (database or filesystem) which mime-type is presented at the user.
I'd like to hear your opinions about this
Regards,
Ton Haver

You want to be using <html:link forward="YOUR_FORWARD"> only when you want to forward to static elements and not elements that require actions. So in index.jsp, since you just want to forward to a static jsp page (allarticle.jsp), you can use
<html:link forward="show">Show All forum</html:link>But since you want your "one forum" link to populate a session attribute BEFORE loading /jsp/loveforum.jsp, you need
<html:link action="article">one forum</html:link>The reason it's not working now is because you're accessing a session attribute that isn't populated becuase you link to the page statically and it never gets the value of "list" actually stored in the session.
The reason it works when you change your forward element is because it calls the action that saves "list" into your session.

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].

How To Get FileType and MIME Type from a File

Hi,
I am using following ways to get FileType and MIME Type.
I am able to get file type, but I am getting MIME Type as */*
Can any one please let me know how to get MIME Type, but it should not be time consuming process.
For File Type I am using following Code:
private String getFileData(InputStream inStream) {
fileName = C:\temp\temp.tiff
String filePath = Util.createTempFile(fileName);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(filePath, "rw");
while (inStream.available() > 0) {
     byte[] buf = new byte[inStream.available()];
     inStream.read(buf);
     raf.write(buf);
inStream.close();
raf.close();
File file = new File(filePath);
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
String fileType = chooser.getTypeDescription(file);
file.delete();
//MIME Type I am getting from
DataHandler data = new DataHandler(new DocumentSource(inStream));
data.getContentType();
data.getContentType() is not working well in all cases.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Ram.

How to restrict uploading files by mime type?

Hi,
I have been searching the forum (and Google) looking for tips on how to ensure users can only upload files of specific formats (Word, PDF, etc) for specific document types as defined within the application (e.g. Curriculum Vitae (Word), Copy of Transcripts (PDF)).
While I have used this research to start work on a server-side solution, I would like to know if there is an apex-friendly way to "validate" a file-browse item based on mime-type.
Has anyone else had to address this?
Ted

Hi,
I would like to know if there is an apex-friendly way to "validate" a file-browse item based on mime-typeHow about, you create a check constraint on your MIMETYPE column. something similar to this:
alter table "MY_TABLE" add constraint
"MY_TABLE_CON" check ( "MIMETYPE" = 'application/pdf' or "MIMETYPE" = ......)Or you can use this plugin, provided using browsers supporting HTML 5:

How to get the Mime Type of the file?

Hi Everyone!,
I want to upload a random file into my table as a BLOB and simultaneously want to fill the respective another column with its MimeType. Earlier I used Oracle Apex for this, but due to my new requirement I need to make this happen with the help of PL SQL and Forms. Could you help me in getting how we can upload the file and most importantly, how we can get its Mime-Type.
My chosen file can be of any type; it can be doc ,pdf,txt,xls ,gif or any other format.
If you could provide the example with your reply then it would be great.
Thanks
Harbinder

hi
for that u have to use webutil.
declare
      f varchar2(100);
begin
     f := webutil_file.file_open_dialog();
     if f is not null then
          :doc.doc_name := f;
          end if;
     end;and
     DECLARE
filename VARCHAR2(256);
BEGIN
filename := CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME (File_Filter => 'jpg (*.jpg)|*.*|');
READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'jpg', 'image');
