Sorry, file upload failed somehow on first try. |

Mainly to the devs: I don't know what's supposed to happen if two MIME annotations apply to the same file. In most cases, the first one seems to win. But there's a quirk that if the MIME type is first set in a "name" routine, then set again back in the main pattern, the two MIME types get concatenated together. Seems like a bug to me, but if not, then the only problem is with the pattern definition, which is very complex. |

I don't know what to do either. Old verfsions (5.45) just returned the application/zip MIME type. This bug must be something which came in with changes in version 5.46. |
