What is the correct MIME type for DOCX, XLSX, & PPTX?

David Thielen

We need this both for what we set in IIS and for the
HttpContext.Rep onse.ContentTyp e property.

We've tried a bunch of different things and none seem to work.

I don't know the answer offhand, but if you have software that you can open
them with, you can easily find out by looking at the Registry.
