[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1491) Identification of BPG (Better Portable Graphics) format

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1491?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14240534#comment-14240534 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1491:
----------------------------------

Normally the x- prefix is used for unofficial types, see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#section-6.3 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#section-5.1 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2048#section-2.1.4

Following that approach would probably mean image/x-bpg for now, then image/bpg with an alias of image/x-bpg once the BPG community got the mimetype accepted

Anyone know what other applications are using for now, and if the BPG community has plans to submit a registration request to the IETF any time soon?

> Following the release of the [BPG (Better Portable Graphics)|http://bellard.org/bpg/] format a few days ago, I created the magic definitions for this format. See attached file. I've tested this against the example files listed [here|http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/BPG].
> Note that no officially registered MIME type exists for this format. I picked {{image/bpg}} as this would be the most obvious choice, but I don't know if Tika sticks to any policy in such cases?
