AW: [opencms-dev] OpenCms version 6.2.3 has been released | mimetypes not working

[Michael Pfannkuchen]

Hallo Michael,

just a question about similar problem: when building opencms.jar from
OpenCMS 6.2.3 source, MIME-Typing of PDF Documents doesn't work anymore:
obviously all content is delivered by standard handler class with
content-type text/html.

Trying your suggestion to include the <mimetypes> node in opencms-vfs.xml
didn't have any chance to get tested, because OpenCMS stopped loading with
error message "org.opencms.main.CmsInitException: Critical error during
OpenCms initialization: Unable to read the OpenCms XML configuration."

Maybe there are some inconsistencies between OpenCMS 6.2.3 binary
Distribution and published Source Code? 
When there are inconsistencies, it would be great to know where they
possibly are, otherwise it's really a game of pure chance to produce a
self-compiled bug free application (last days our website users
accidentially could not download PDF files with Firefox and we had all over
performance problems just after changing the Search code a little bit and
then had published a new opencms.jar).

Thx for all help : Michael
