Temporary fix

Comments

  • The Microsoft office 7  *.docx file is an Open XML document
    combining texts, styles, graphics into a single ZIP archive.
    Its content is a ZIP archive. User needs to add MIME type for
    Office 7 files to IBM HTTP Server , so that the file can open
    based on file extension instead of its content.
    
    
    
    
    
    Steps to add MIME type support to IBM HTTP Server:
    
    
    
    
    
    1. Go to IBM HTTP Server installation conf directory, for
    example C:\IBMIHS\conf
    
    
    
    
    
    2. Make a backup copy of "mime.types" file, then open
    "mime.types" file in a text editor,
    
    under line  application/msword doc , add line:
    
    
    
    
    
    application/vnd.openxmlformats  docx pptx xlsx
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    3. Restart IBM http administration  and IBM http Server
    services.
