i will answer my own question here.

Q1.does the file being upload need to have the explicit mime type set?
if so what is the typically strategy to cater for many file types available?

by setting the mime type to


application/octet-stream
‍‍‍

and ensuring the file name has the correct extension (.pdf, .txt. etc)

this seems to work for all the file extensions that i tried.
Hence the mime type only needs to be "application/octet-stream" and alfresco seems to take care of the rest when retrieving document.
