[fileUpload] file content-type
Hello,
I would like to filter the files uploaded, I thought a good way was to
use the file content type but I realized that it is often
application/octet-stream regardless to the file uploaded (.doc, .xls,
.pdf, .txt...).
Am I obliged to filter based on the file extension or there is something
to tweak to get a more explicit content-type value?
Thanks
Xavier

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmimemagic/ says it's released under the
GPL/LGPL. Afaik these licenses allow such fork-relases. But I'm not sure.
Anyone?

I would love to do a fork-release and create a commons project. I
wonder if the jmimemagic author would be offended though...

I'm not a master in licence-things, but couldn't you just do a
fork-release? Maybe other's would appreciate your work, too.

I never heard back from the author. He has a posting on the
jmimemagic page at sourceforge that says he is looking for feedback,
but has not responded back to any of the feedback posts.

Sounds interesting. Did you contact the author about your changes? Did
he respond?
Maybe you could send me your fixed version?
Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. If you spend any time with jmimemagic,
you find that the API is a little weak. If you pass in a file, the
library goes incredibly slow, because for each file matcher, it
creates a new RandomAccessFile object. Also, there is no support for
ByteBuffer.
I have fixed these 2 problems in the jmimemagic that I am using....

We started a similar project a while back. The idea was to use the BSD
file(1) database as it is from Java.
It's be better to use a simpler format as jmimemagic has done. The Unix
magic file is not that nice.
If the author can be convinced to change the license to APL I think it
is a really good candidate for commons-something.

I like jmimemagic as well. Does anyone know if the project is still
being maintained? I have posted a message on the jmimemagic forum and
never got a response. There are a couple things that need to be done
I think to make jmimemagic better.

A person won't remember you by what you said,
but by how you made them feel.

I use jmimemagic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmimemagic/) for that.
Works nice.

I would suggest using a library that would check the file type of the
uploaded file. This will give you a better idea of what the file is.
It is the job of the browser to fill in this data, and based on the
browser, you can get differing values on the server side.

The content type for an individual part is specified by the browser (or
other client), so to affect it, you would need to modify the browser's
settings. Unless you have a very controlled user base, that's probably not
practical, so you'd need to determine the actual content type yourself.
