Re: [xwiki-devs] attachment's mime-types

2008/12/28 Paul Libbrecht &lt;paul(a)activemath.org&gt; can someone explain me what is the strategy to define the mime-type of an attachment? I see not configurable map nor any setter on the attachment types. Is there any way I can enrich this or is it simply taking over the mime-type provided the browser (which, too often, ends up being application/octet-stream) ? ... [sergiu suggests "web.xml. Search for css, and do something similar for your mimetypes."] ... worked well to one point: the mime-type is added with a charset parameter which is even iso-8859-1 although everything in my environment is set to be utf-8. Do I have a way to remove that charset for such downloads? That would be the most sensible one. Perhaps this is relevant: to jerome(a)xwiki.com, XWiki Users &lt;users(a)xwiki.org&gt; date Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 5:48 PM subject Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] support for google sitemaps and webmaster tools? (and why do xwiki RDF's give "unsupported file format"?) ... No matter what I did in my setup, I was getting <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> The roller blog atom feed that *does* work correctly w/ google sitemaps returns: <?xml version="1.0" encoding='utf-8'?> I fixed this issue by running java with -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 (note the lowercase setting suggested in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Performances seems incorrect?). When that alone didn't work, I also added "- Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8-DjavaEncoding=UTF-8" which had been suggested in solving this problem for other Tomcat users. (Now I run java with the following options:-server -Xms160m - Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=160m -XX:MaxPermSize=320m - Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 - DjavaEncoding=UTF-8 -Djava.awt.headless=true) I also saw other suggestions to set LANG="en_US.UTF-8" in the tomcat launching script... however, I'm not sure which of my changes "did" it, but i believe that following two steps I'd forgotten|| skipped in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding caused the correct encoding to be used: (1) WEB-INF> diff web.xml.~1~ web.xml 23c23 < <param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value> --- (2) WEB-INF> diff xwiki.cfg.~2~ xwiki.cfg 29c29 < xwiki.encoding=ISO-8859-1 --- With all of the above now reconfigured, I now get the correct output for http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss?xpage=rdf : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> ... -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: Why not just have xwiki.cfg's default be: 'xwiki.encoding=UTF-8' ; likewise have web.xml's default for com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter's 'encoding' be UTF-8. These encoding errors that oft go unnoticed are probably resulting in a number of configuration errors, and perhaps other bug-reports that aren't entirely valid, should they depend on encoding issues.
