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

[erdmann_]

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
--2012-08-24 12:45:01--  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.e...

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.

If its still in progress, the same for audio would be nice and in accordance with the RFC http

Ok I add [it][1]. Backport for 5.6 and 5.5 available soon.
