mimetypes
mimetypes is an Erlang library to fetch MIME extension/name mappings.
Usage
1> application:start(mimetypes).
ok
2> mimetypes:extension(<<"js">>).
<<"application/javascript">>
3> mimetypes:extension(<<"mb">>).
<<"application/mathematica">>
4> mimetypes:extension(<<"html">>).
<<"text/html">>
5> mimetypes:extension(<<"m3u8">>).
[<<"application/vnd.apple.mpegurl">>,
<<"application/x-mpegurl">>]
6> mimetypes:filename("/a/b.js").
<<"application/javascript">>
7> mimetypes:extensions(<<"application/mathematica">>).
[<<"ma">>,<<"nb">>,<<"mb">>]Additional types
Additional mappings can be loaded at runtime using the mimetypes:load/2
function. If this function is timing out it is possible to increase the
timeout using mimetypes:load/3.
1> application:start(mimetypes).
ok
2> mimetypes:load(default, [{<<"ext">>, <<"new/type">>}]).
ok
3> mimetypes:extension(<<"ext">>).
[<<"application/vnd.novadigm.ext">>,<<"new/type">>]
2> mimetypes:load(default, [{<<"ext">>, <<"new/type">>}], 10000).
okAdditional mappings can also be specified using the application environment
variables for the mimetypes application. These can be added to the
config file specified using the erl -config flag.
