How to change "Content-Type" of static resource files in WebEngine

erdmann_ — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:50:20 GMT

The files below "skin/resources/". (as said by http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC/WebEngine+%28JAX-RS%29#WebEngine%28JAX-RS%29-Staticresources) File is found, but with bad mimetype "text/plain" instead of "video/ogg":

    oe@charlie:~$ wget -S http://marcie:8080/nuxeo/site/portal/skin/images/demomedia/intro.ogv

I succssfully can change the mime-type for the non-WebEngine public directory (below nxserver\nuxeo.war), I guess, these files are almost untoched by nuxeo, hence the tomcat way works: in file deployment-fragment.xml add:

<extension target="web#SERVLET">
	<mime-mapping>
		<extension>ogv</extension>
		<mime-type>video/ogg</mime-type>
	</mime-mapping>

now it works for the file http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/portal/intro.ogv (notice the missing "site/").

    oe@charlie:~$ wget -S http://marcie:8080/nuxeo/portal/intro.ogv

How to change it for WebEngine? I guessed an extenstion point, but the one I found http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20Platform-5.6-RC3/viewComponent/org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.mimetype.service.MimetypeRegistryService/

has it already set:

<mimetype normalized="video/ogg" binary="true" iconPath="video.png">
  <mimetypes>
    <mimetype>video/ogg</mimetype>
  </mimetypes>
  <extensions>
    <extension>ogv</extension>
  </extensions>
</mimetype>

Did you try with renaming your file to *.ogg, I think the mime type exposed will be application/ogg. I'm not a specialist but I think it may work.

Any way I think one way to add this mimetype is to add it in our nuxeo-webengine-core project this mimetype in the OSGI-INF/mimetype.properties.

I wait your feedback on the first point

I [add the line on the trunk][1] of Nuxeo, but I need to wait to add it into the first Hot Fix package as the release is in progress.
