Re: [htdig] doc2html unable to convert wordperfect

[<mic...@bt...>]

Klaus,
The most important part is that htdig is set up with the correct =
mime-type mappings.=20
I would suggest that you check the header returned by your server =
somehow: options include the 'LiveHTTPheaders'  extension in Firefox,  a =
direct telnet to port 80,  or verbose options with something like WGET.  =

That would eliminate any remaining confusion over what mime-type is =
being used - as you can see, there is a degree of faith required that =
the web server picks the 'correct' mime-type in each case!
=20
If it does turn out to be returning application/octet-stream that needs =
to be fixed, but otherwise I would just put in a line for every possible =
variation of the WordPerfect mime-type - as you spotted, doc2html makes =
its own attempt to identify which kind of document it is given, which is =
independent of mime-type.
=20
Hope that helps,
Mike=20

	That is a point that I am very uncertain about . Here is what I can =
tell after reading more of the documentation.
=09
	This is part of my /usr/share/file/magic:
=09
	>#WordPerfect type files Version 1.6 - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE
	>0       string  =
\377WPC\020\000\000\000\022\012\001\001\000\000\000\000 (WP) loadable =

	>>15     byte    1       Optimized for Non-Intel
	>1       string  WPC     (Corel/WP)
	>>8      short   257     WordPerfect macro
	(and so on)
=09
	This is part of my /etc/mime.types:
=09
	>application/wordperfect                         wpd
	>application/wordperfect5.1                      wp5
=09
	Now if I use the file-command:
=09
	>file mswordfile.doc
	>mswordfile.doc: Microsoft Office Document
=09
	>file -i mswordfile.doc
	>mswordfile.doc: application/msword
=09
	That's what I would expect. But:
=09
	>file wordperfectfile.wpd
	>wordperfectfile.wpd: (Corel/WP)
=09
	>file -i wordperfectfile.wpd
	>wordperfectfile.wpd: application/octet-stream
=09
	... seems wrong to me.
=09
	On the other hand: how does doc2html identify file-types?=20
=09
	I'm not familiar with perl, but it seems to me that there is some sort =
of comparison with "\377" within the perl-script.
=09
	In this respect:
=09
	>od -b wordperfectfile.wpd | head
	>0000000 377 127 120 103 365 007 000 000 001 012 002 001 000 000 000 =
002
=09
	... seems correct to me.
=09
	Would this be the information you asked about? What can I do next?
=09
	Thanks for your help,
	Klaus

	Have you got any idea what mime-type your server is putting out for =
these=20
	documents?
	The key is that what you have in your config file must match what your =
server=20
	is saying, regardless of whether either of them is technically correct.
