Description Reuben Farrelly 2005-11-21 06:38:40 UTC 
At present if we attempt to serve up OpenOffice documents with Apache, the mime
type is not recognised - it defaults to txt/plain:

ie:

[root@tornado ~]# telnet www 80
Trying 192.168.0.6...
Connected to www.
Escape character is '^]'.

This is a problem because the client browser cannot handle the unknown format,
and we end up with rubbish in the browser (in my case, Firefox).

A document describing the new mime types is here:

http://framework.openoffice.org/documentation/mimetypes/mimetypes.html

Please add these to /etc/mime.types so that they are system wide.  I think this
would be a better idea than adding them to httpd.conf.
