Here is one possible way to get Content-Type set if it isn't specified with svn:mime-type: <IfModule headers_module> # Fix docx/xlsx/pptx handling for IE7 SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.docx$" docx_file Header set Content-Type "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" env=docx_file SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.xlsx$" xlsx_file Header set Content-Type "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" env=xlsx_file SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.pptx$" pptx_file Header set Content-Type "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation" env=pptx_file </IfModule> Setting the svn:mime-type is the correct way, but hacks like above might work in a pinch. Usual disclaimer applies. If you use this and it causes problems you owe me money... :^) Kevin R.
