HTTP header (content-type) based mime-type detection fails on Mac OS X

[wwwpixime]

We use Gallery 2.3.1 as a codebase for our hosting service at ​https://pixi.me/ - we've recently enabled the use of the built-in WebDav feature (doesn't require Apache's mod_dav) to allow our users to upload/download files on the fly.

Unfortunately, using Cyberduck 4.2 on OS X Lion and Microsoft Windows 7 - the WebDAV HTTP header (content-type) based mime-type detection fails. Gallery 2 depends on the content-type header to determine the mime-type of the file.

With this failure, thumbnails will not be generated, ZIP files won't be extracted, etc.. Using cURL works (OS X, FreeBSD, etc..) just fine, and so does Transmit. BitKenix works also (Windows).

I would like to recommend Cyberduck (I use it myself) to our user base, but this issue is just getting in the way.

Please advise, thank you. If you need a test site, let me know.

Best regards,

Steve Caturan

I can replicate this issue. A generic content type of application/octet-stream is sent.

hi David,

I'm still ending up with 0 byte files even after upgrading to 4.2.1 - please advise, thank you. Just in case you have time, here's a test site : ​https://pixi.me/gallery2/w/webdav/

Please "webdav" as the username/password

Thank you in advance.

webdav is username & password

Please advise, thank you.

I suppose this is another issue then.

There are several issues with this site:

• As a minor issue it is sending an empty authentication realm.
• Expect-Continue HTTP handshake is not supported. This does not allow the upload to abort on authentication failures before the payload is sent.

hi David,

Gallery2 isn't in active development anymore, unfortunately, so we can't file a bug report to resolve the problem.

Is there any way for Cyberduck to compensate for this since most of the other WebDAV clients we tested works fine out of the box, even the mobile apps for IOS/Android.

Please advise, thanks!
