Cannot upload .zip files into Google Docs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type google docs upload test.zip

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is that the file is uploaded successfully, as Google Docs   
is able to store any type of file.

This is what I'm seeing:

(torke@icarus) [~]$ google docs upload test.zip
Loading test.zip
Failed to upload test.zip
{'status': 415, 'body': 'Content-Type application/zip is not a valid input 
type.', 'reason': 'Unsupported Media Type'}

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gdata-2.0.10 and googlecl-0.9.5, running on Slackware Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

The Google Data API does not support uploading any file type like the web 
interface.

Please direct your anger at the gdata project:

mjbauer is correct. The API only supports certain mimetypes, though with Docs 
getting an overhaul with v3, this might not be too far off.
