Why is mime-type different for the same attachment for web and eclipse clients of RTC ?
I attached a file with .ini extension from RTC web client, the mime type it had was "application/octet-stream".
I attached the same file from RTC eclipse client, the mime type was given "application/unknown".
Due to this behavior, my application is behaving erratically.
Any pointers ?

MIME types in the Eclipse client are governed by the Eclipse type registry. You can override that in the Eclipse preferences by going to Team > Jazz Source Control > File Properties.

And what about the Web client? How does the web-client determine mime-type when an attachment is uploaded?
In my application also there is a provision to upload attachments from file system or from RTC-workitem-attachments.
For the attachments from file-system, I use this - URLConnection.getFileNameMap().getContentTypeFor(file.getName());
For RTC-workitem-attachments, I use IAttachment's content-type. But even within this, I found differences for web/eclipse clients.
Just want to find a consistent way to avoid this situation in my application.
