webdav client API and mime types

[Paul Hussein <pa...@terma.it>]

Hi,

I am trying to understand how WebDAV and the slide API to WebDAV deals with
mime-types.


When I list the properties of a file I have places onto a webdav server (
Apache/DAV 2 ) with Cadaver, i Get a mime type.


SO does this mean its part of the standard ?


The API for adding a file to a server  ( put ) seems not to provide an
interface for specifying a mime-type. Is this an omission ?

Could I add this and check the code in ?


How would it be best to progress this, as I would like to add files with a
mime-type to a repository, and retrieve them with an associated mime-type.
Have I missed something ?



Thanks.



Paul.

IIRC slide webdav determines the mime type, when a document is PUT
on the server. 

If the client specifies a mime type, this is stored.
Otherwise the webdav servlet checks for  extension to
mime type mapping in web.xml. If non is found, the 
default-mime-type as specified in web.xml is used.
