image/pjpeg missing

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Binary package hint: mime-support

IE uploads jpg files as "image/pjpeg" instead of "image/jpeg".

This causes problem e.g. in mailman, which detaches attachments and - since Python's mimetypes module doesn't find the mimetype - labels these jpgs as "binary data", naming them "attachment.bin" instead of "attachment.jpg"

Adding:

image/pjpeg jpeg jpg jpe

as a bastardized copy of the

image/jpeg jpeg jpg jpe

line fixes this.

Can't this be done with an alias instead of copying the whole mime type definition?

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

I spoke too soon, that's exactly how it is done in Lucid's shared mime info:

  <mime-type type="image/jpeg">
    <_comment>JPEG image</_comment>
    <magic priority="50">
      <match type="string" value="\377\330\377" offset="0"/>
      <match type="big16" value="0xffd8" offset="0"/>
    </magic>
    <glob pattern="*.jpeg"/>
    <glob pattern="*.jpg"/>
    <glob pattern="*.jpe"/>
    <alias type="image/pjpeg"/>
  </mime-type>
