ph tags using pre ?

Question

Group,
Using WLP 8.1, I am displaying simple text/html from a document using a
placeholder. WLP surrounds the content with <pre> tags thus violating my
carefully formatted HTML :)
What determines this use of <pre> tags and how do I prevent the use? I have
tried uploading various different types of documents, but I always get the
<pre> tags and I don't see any configuration options to take care of this -
may I have overlooked something.
The ph tag is pretty simple:
[=============================
<ph:placeholder name="/placeholders/information.pla"/>
=============================]
My information.pla is :
[=============================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<placeholder
is-complete="true"
xmlns="http://www.bea.com/servers/p13n/xsd/placeholder/1.1.1"
xmlns:cq="http://www.bea.com/servers/p13n/xsd/content/query/1.1.1"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/servers/p13n/xsd/placeholder/1.1.1
placeholder-1_1_1.xsd">
<name>information</name>
<type>Ad</type>
<description/>
<mixGlobals>true</mixGlobals>
<contentQueries>
<queryDefinition>
<queryName>InfoQuery</queryName>
<cq:contentQuery logic="and">
<cq:contentPropertyComparison logic="and" name="title"
propertySet="BEA Repository/article" type="string">
<cq:equals>
<cq:literal>information</cq:literal>
</cq:equals>
</cq:contentPropertyComparison>
</cq:contentQuery>
<queryPriority>normal</queryPriority>
</queryDefinition>
</contentQueries>
</placeholder>
=============================]

Not currently. I will enter a request for that to be added.
One of 2 things is happening here:
1. Your browser is telling the server, during the file upload, that the
Content-Type of the file part is text/plain, or
2. Your browser isn't specifying the Content-Type of the uploading file,
in which case rfc1867 says the default Content-Type of part of a
multi-part upload is text/plain.
Either case is unusual for a .htm or .html file. Are you using a
different file extension for your files? The browsers have their own
content-type-from-filename-guesing logic, and they would probably use it
in this case. If you aren't using .htm or .html, there's probably some
way to tell your browser that your file extension is really text/html.
In IE, I believe it falls back to using the os file associations. I'm
not sure what Netscape/Mozilla, Opera, Konqueror, and the others do.

Greg,
Is there a way to override this behaviour without writing a new upload
mechanism. I mean isn't it possible to force a certain content-type through
the administration page during upload?

When the binary primary property of the node being displayed via
<ph:placeholder> has a mime type of text/plain, the rendering system
will surround it with <pre></pre> so that it renders in-line as formatted.
Check your CM_PROPERTY table to see what BINARY_CONTENT_TYPEs you're
getting when you upload your content. The admin tools use the
Content-Type the browser specifies on the file upload, so you might be
getting a default Content-Type set.
