Re: [RT] Changing the mime type setting of a reader

[Joerg Heinicke]

No opinions on this? Does this mean nobody needs this feature? IMO it's 
not that important, but it can at least shorten the sitemap component 
declaration a bit. So I would like to have it.

Hi,

during our bug hunting session we came across bug 10277
that contains a discussion about the mime type handling
of a reader.
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10277

The suggestion is to change the behaviour to (or the order
to determine the mime type):
- MIME type declared on the reader instance
- Ask the Reader for a MIME type. A *.doc reader could peek into the file
  and return either text/plain or application/vnd.msword.
- MIME type declared for the reader component
- MIME type declared in WEB-INF/web.xml or by the server.
Because, *if* I set a mime type for the reader instance I will overide
the information with this.
For more info you can have a look at bugzilla.

Now, we can either agree on the above, come to a different solution
or leave it as is. Either way, I want to close this bug :)
