I'm trying to change the MIME type for a specific web from
application/octet-stream to image/gif for files with NO extension. The
"File Types" dialog seems to require an extension (i've tried entering
* but it's replaced with .*) so I presume I need to change the default
MIME type somewhere... ?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeremy
