NOT an off-topic question, but bear with me...
My application needs to upload common document formats and store them in a BLOB field in Oracle. It also needs to allow users to download the documents via browser. Pretty easy, right?
br>
The problem is that while my code works great for most file types, the three Office 2007 file formats give me problems (.docx, .pptx, and .xlsx).
I have checked to see that I am using the correct mime types in the Content-type header. Any feedback would be great.
BTW - I am using Embperl::Object
