We need a way to convert files during file uploads. Background is iOS which only allows uploading in the background but no conversion (HEIC ➡️ jpg).

The idea is to have e.g. a special header like X-NC-Target-Mime specifying the target MIME type and then use the conversion API to convert the file on the fly during upload.
See OCP\Files\Conversion to be used as the background API.

Tasks:

  • Add WebDAV middleware for the new header
  • Expose available MIME types in capabilities
  • Add conversion provider from HEIC ➡️ jpg (use our preview API in the background?)
