Changing MIME-type - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

How is the content-type header set for the article attachments? It seems that attachment.php overrides the AddType directives in .htaccess. For example, I noticed that the video on http://newscoop-demo.sourcefabric.org/en/jan2011/politics/64/European-Council-candidates-set-to-be-named.htm plays in Firefox but not in Chrome and I suspect this might be because the file http://newscoop-demo.sourcefabric.org/attachment/10/sourcefabric-video.ogv is served as application/ogg instead of video/ogg, despite the line AddType video/ogg .ogv in .htaccess. What do I need to change in the Newscoop PHP code?

The MIME-type is stored in the database table Attachments and can be edited manually in MySQL. This did not solve the playback issue in Chrome, so it is probably a codec problem.

If anyone finds how to set the correct Content-Type automatically, remember that all previously uploaded attachments will keep the type that was set when it was originally uploaded.

OK, uploading the same file again gives the right mime-type, so the content in the database must have been uploaded before .htaccess was changed.

Howdy, Stranger!
