Description

This library contains a database of MIME types that maps filename extensions into MIME types suitable for use in many Internet protocols such as HTTP or e-mail. It is generated from the mime.types file found in Unix systems, but has no dependency on a filesystem since it includes the contents of the database as an ML datastructure.

For example, here's how to lookup MIME types in the [utop] REPL:

#require "magic-mime";;
Magic_mime.lookup "/foo/bar.txt";;
- : bytes = "text/plain"
Magic_mime.lookup "bar.css";;
- : bytes = "text/css"

magic-mime -- map filenames to common MIME types

This library contains a database of MIME types that maps filename extensions into MIME types suitable for use in many Internet protocols such as HTTP or e-mail. It is generated from the mime.types file found in Unix systems, but has no dependency on a filesystem since it includes the contents of the database as an ML datastructure.

For example, here's how to lookup MIME types in the utop REPL:

    #require "magic-mime";;
Magic_mime.lookup "/foo/bar.txt";;
- : bytes = "text/plain"
Magic_mime.lookup "bar.css";;
- : bytes = "text/css"

Internals

The following files need to be edited to add MIME types:

  • mime.types: this is obtained by synching from the Apache Foundation's mime.types in the Apache Subversion repository.
  • x-mime.types: these are the extension types, so non-standard x- prefixes are used here.
  • file.types: full filenames of common occurrences that are useful to map onto a MIME type. OCaml-specific things like opam files show up here.

Build status

Results of building magic-mime with each compiler on check.ci.ocaml.org, run of against opam-repository 7cdc698. All results for this package.

Each result links to its build log. To keep crawlers from overloading the site, build logs require a GitHub sign-in (see ocurrent/opam-health-check). On your first log, GitHub asks you to “Authorize opam-health-check”, the OCurrent app that runs these checks; it sees only your public profile, not your repositories. The sign-in lasts 30 days.
