[opencms-dev] Problem with binary files with IE

[pasijtj at evtek.fi]

Hi,

Thanks Andras!

I added following lines to web.xml:

<mime-mapping>
  <extension>ppt</extension>
  <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-powerpoint</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
  <extension>xls</extension>
  <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

After this change and re-uploading the files, everything seems to work fine.
