Indexing RTF files problem

Hi there,

Just wondering why these 2 RTF files do not index properly.

http://www.leadersdesktop.sa.edu.au/res ... val%20.rtf

http://www.leadersdesktop.sa.edu.au/res ... 0VARSA.rtf

When I look at what Webinator has indexed in the Body field it's just a few strange characters which coincidentally causes 1 of the files to be treated as a duplicate of the other.

Thanks
Henry

Those aren't rtf files. They are doc files. They are misnamed on the webserver and the webserver is setting the mime type based on the incorrect extension. When given a mime type webinator will trust it rather than trying to guess the type.
