Hi Shen,

get_mimetypes_from_description('zip') is currently returning the
following list:

 application/zip
 application/x-zip
 application/zip-compressed
 application/x-zip-compressed

This does the job for me in all my test environments but I think your
browser might be uploading the file with a mimetype that's not on that
list.  Google tells me they can also be 'multipart/x-zip', so I can add
that one to the list.


But it'd be a great help if we could find out for sure what your browser says it is.  You could do this by temporarily replacing line 234 further down that in that file, changing it from 

            $form->set_error('leap2afile',
get_string('fileisnotaziporxmlfile', 'admin'));

to

            $form->set_error('leap2afile', 'Mime type: ' .
$values['leap2afile']['type']);

and then try uploading the file again.
