Mime Type Detection Utility 1.1.2 (Default branch)
Mime Type Detection Utility is a Java (1.4 or higher) utility library that detects the MIME types of files and streams. It uses file extension mappings and a magic.mime rules file. License: The Apache License 2.0 Changes:
All known bugs were fixed. MIME type detection of Java streams was implemented The API was cleaned up and many utility methods were added. Significant amounts of JavaDoc were added to the public API. A README.txt file explaining MIME type mapping was included. Many more extension mappings were added.
Hello,
I am trying to send a gzip file on email using below command but the zipped file received on email is corrupt.

I've spent a good two weeks on trying to figure out a proper way to get the mime type of a file. The "file" command on the Sparc machine I'm working on is an older version and does not support the --mime flag. It outputs things like:

Alright, so I am trying to use perl (or any other shell scripting language, awk/sed/bash for instance), to retrieve the mime-type of a file.
I want to keep it in one file, and most of the modules that are on cpan that check for mime types (Magic), aren't installed on these boxes.
Anyone have... (2 Replies)
Using Lynx, when I try to download a .rar, it confirms I want to download and its got it as an appication/rar file.
However, split archives that end in .r## (.r00, .r01 ...) are not recognized as an appication/rar file and it reads the file like a .txt or .html.
How can I fix this?
Thanks! (2 Replies)

File::Type - determine file type using magic
SYNOPSIS
my $ft = File::Type->new();
# read in data from file to $data, then
my $type_from_data = $ft->checktype_contents($data);
# alternatively, check file from disk
my $type_from_file = $ft->checktype_filename($file);
# convenient method for checking either a file or data
my $type_1 = $ft->mime_type($file);
my $type_2 = $ft->mime_type($data);
DESCRIPTION
File::Type uses magic numbers (typically at the start of a file) to determine the MIME type of that file.
File::Type can use either a filename, or file contents, to determine the type of a file.
METHODS
new
Returns a new File::Type object.
mime_type($argument)
Takes either data or a filename, determines what it is, and passes the argument through to the relevant method below. If the argument is a
directory, returns undef.
checktype_filename($filename)
Opens $filename (if possible; if not, returns undef) and returns the MIME type of the file.
checktype_contents($data)
Matches $data against the magic database criteria and returns the MIME type of the file.
TODO
* Add additional magic match criteria
BUGS
None known.
NOTES
Some magic definitions in the mime-magic file used in the creation of this module vary from those in other apps (eg image/x-png not
image/png).
SEE ALSO
File::MMagic and File::MimeInfo perform the same job, but have a number of problems that led to the creation of this module.
File::MMagic inlines a copy of the magic database, and uses a DATA filehandle, which causes problems when running under mod_perl.
File::MimeInfo uses an external magic file, and relies on file extensions rather than magic to determine the mime type.
As a result, File::Type uses a seperate module and script to create the code at the core of this module, which means that there is no need
to include a magic database at all, and that it is safe to run under mod_perl.
File::Type::Builder, which generates the code at the heart of this module.

File::Type is built from a mime-magic file from cleancode.org. The original can be found at
