Hi,

In Forms via Webutil, I have a problem with files having an 4 characters file extension (docx, xlsx, etc).
Can anybody have an idee what can I check ?
There is a limitation for Webutil in this case ?

Regards,
Ciprian

What does "have a problem" mean?
What version of Forms?
What version of Webutil?
What version of app server?

I use the following:

Forms : 10.1.2
Webutil: 1.0.6
app server: 10g

The new Office 2007 file extensions (docx,potx,xlsx,etc) turning into ZIP files when they are uploaded to a web server and then downloaded.

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/ie/en-us/60bfefea-f509-4fe1-ae87-3e975107190b/ie8-opens-docx-files-as-if-they-are-zip-files

The new Office 2007 file formats are now using an Open XML file format system. Essentially they are ZIP files that are full of XML files that when opened with a proper application turn into a friendly word document.

I was uploading Office 2007 files (docx) and when my colleges went to download them they would save as .zip files. We are using Internet Explorer 8 and it is not possible to change this version.

I find the solution for my problem:
I added the MIME Types in the web server (Oracle Http Server).
It seems that IE didn't recognize the OpenXML format for my files.

docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
xlsx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
pptx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
