We are using the prog method, so that's -S prog.
And it is now indexing the spreadsheets so we're not
getting "wrong content type" any more.

We do have Spreadsheet::ParseExcel installed
but I don't think we're using SWISH::Filter.

Here's the config file we're using (I took out a bunch
of servers to maintain security).

It is indexing the XLS files but it's only indexing 2 words
for each of them.  Why?

Thanks.

Ok, so a grep finds that in the example SwishSpiderConfig.pl file.
Does that make sense for what you are doing?  Are you using -S prog with
spider.pl?

Or are you using -S http method?  If that's the case then the message
is:

   "Skipping %s:  Wrong content type: %s.\n"

My guess that's it.

And that's because the content type doesn't begin with "text/" or
there is not a filter selected for the URL (which is based on file
extension not content-type which doesn't work very well).

So back to your original problem.

I'll assume you are using -S http and that you are also using the
SWISH::Filter set of modules (since you mentioned
the SWISH::Filter::XLtoHTML module).

Yes, that was correct to add the mime type to that file, although I'm
not sure what you added.  Your message said:

  We got it to work by modifying the XLtoHTML function to include
  both application/vnd.ms-excel and application/vnd.ms-excel.

which look the same to my eyes.

But if you don't have Spreadsheet::ParseExcel installed then
that code will never run.  Do you have that module installed?
