We've been struggling with getting a zipped static resource to work
for weeks now. We got Salesforce Support involved from the beginning,
but they've gotten us nowhere. If we can't get a resolution to this
issue soon, we might just find a platform that wastes less of our
time...
Here is the situation - we are trying to upload a
portion of the YUI library as a static resource, but no matter what we
try, we can't get the files to render in our VisualForce pages.
Salesforce Support can get it to work (sometimes), but we can't. The
difference seems to be around the MIME Type that is set when the file
is uploaded. When we upload the file, it gets set to a MIME Type of
'application/zip', but when SFDC Support uploads the file, it gets set
to a MIME Type of 'application/x-zip-compressed' or
'application/octet-stream'. Salesforce can't explain to us exactly why
or how these different MIME Types get set. They're looking into why our
uploads don't work, but I'm not expecting much from them at this point.
To reproduce our steps:
