Mime type mess with files downloaded with Browse

[sayamindu]

Files which are normally zip files (eg: Open Document files, Epub files, etc) seem to have the extension set to application/x-zip in the datastore. Steps to reproduce

1. Open Browse and navigate to  http://feedbooks.com/book/102

2. Download the epub file linked from that page

3. Try to open the file from the journal (you can have a mock activity which has the mimetype for application/epub+zip registered)

4. View the log for Journal: it contains a line which says:

WARNING root: No activity can open this object, application/x-zip.

This normally occurs when the extension of the file is truncated, which means that there is no way to distinguish the file from a normal zip file.

I have seen this occur on Sucrose 0.82, on XO OS build 767

As per discussion on IRC, I also included a mimetype.xml file in my activity. It did not seem to fix the problem

This hack seems to solve the issue.

Would this patch help with zip-based file types? I would prefer not discarding always the mime type sent by the server because many webapps would break that way.

Also, you may want to add an icon and a parent mime type. From the odt file:

  <sub-class-of type="application/zip"/>
  <generic-icon name="x-office-document"/>
