Description

Utilities for guessing MIME types of files.

Written by John Goerzen, jgoerzen@complete.org

Synopsis

Creating Lookup Objects

defaultmtd :: MIMETypeData Source

Default MIME type data to use

readMIMETypes Source

Arguments

:: MIMETypeData	Data to work with
-> Bool	Whether to work on strict data
-> FilePath	File to read
-> IO MIMETypeData	New object

Read the given mime.types file and add it to an existing object. Returns new object.

hReadMIMETypes Source

Arguments

:: MIMETypeData	Data to work with
-> Bool	Whether to work on strict data
-> Handle	Handle to read from
-> IO MIMETypeData	New object

Load a mime.types file from an already-open handle.

readSystemMIMETypes :: MIMETypeData -> IO MIMETypeData Source

Read the system's default mime.types files, and add the data contained therein to the passed object, then return the new one.

Basic Access

type MIMEResults = (Maybe String, Maybe String) Source

Return value from guessing a file's type.

The first element of the tuple gives the MIME type. It is Nothing if no suitable type could be found.

The second element gives the encoding. It is Nothing if there was no particular encoding for the file, or if no encoding could be found.

data MIMETypeData Source

Constructors

MIMETypeData

Fields

suffixMap :: Map String String: A mapping used to expand common suffixes into equivolent, better-parsed versions. For instance, ".tgz" would expand into ".tar.gz".
encodingsMap :: Map String String: A mapping used to determine the encoding of a file. This is used, for instance, to map ".gz" to "gzip".
typesMap :: Map String String: A mapping used to map extensions to MIME types.
commonTypesMap :: Map String String: A mapping used to augment the typesMap when non-strict lookups are used.

guessType Source

Arguments

:: MIMETypeData	Source data for guessing
-> Bool	Whether to limit to strict data
-> String	File or URL name to consider
-> MIMEResults	Result of guessing (see `MIMEResults` for details on interpreting it)

Guess the type of a file given a filename or URL. The file is not opened; only the name is considered.

guessExtension Source

Arguments

:: MIMETypeData	Source data for guessing
-> Bool	Whether to limit to strict data
-> String	MIME type to consider
-> Maybe String	Result of guessing, or Nothing if no match possible

Guess the extension of a file based on its MIME type. The return value includes the leading dot.

Returns Nothing if no extension could be found.

In the event that multiple possible extensions are available, one of them will be picked and returned. The logic to select one of these should be considered undefined.

guessAllExtensions Source

Arguments

:: MIMETypeData	Source data for guessing
-> Bool	Whether to limit to strict data
-> String	MIME type to consider
-> [String]	Result of guessing

Similar to guessExtension, but returns a list of all possible matching extensions, or the empty list if there are no matches.
