[Xerte] Re: Unable to import zipped LO to XOT

[Pat Lockley]

Thomas once had an issue that his zip was some sort of ghost zip (best
said with a slightly drunk accent) which wasn't a zip.

AAAAAAHHHHH!

I think Firefox reports the zip as having some weird mimetype (or
firefox specific mimetype).

Can you get at the PHP?
