[opencms-dev] Problem with binary files with IE

[Andras Balogh]

Hello,

    I guess the problem is with Tomcat settings, try to define ppt and 
xls as mime-types in web.xml:
<mime-mapping>
        <extension>xls</extension>
        <mime-type>application/m$-excel ??</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
   You should look up the correct mimetype for xls and ppt ;)

Best regards,
Andras.
