Bug #80529 for MIME-Types: XLSX gets corrupted

Wed Oct 31 14:10:18 2012 DOUGW [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

XLSX gets corrupted

When an XLSX is encoded with the default 'binary', it appears corrupted from Outlook. Works fine when explicitly encoded with 'base64'. It is a binary file (a PK zip file actually), so it really should be encoded in ascii e.g. base64. I don't know the reasoning in the change log about why it was set to 'binary'.

In version 1.30, someone contributed some openoffice types. I did not see this mistake in that patch. Released as 1.36 -- Thanks for the report, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net
