Mapping from extension to MIME type
Description
This is a programmatically generated character vector
whose names identify the MIME type typically associated with
the extension which are the values.
This is used in guessMIMEType.
We can match an extension and then find the corresponding
MIME type.
There are duplicates.
Usage
data(mimeTypeExtensions)Format
The format is a named character vector where the names are the MIME types and the values are the file extensions.
Source
The table of MIME types and extensions was programmatically extracted
from ‘http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml’ with
tbls = readHTMLTable("http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml")
tmp = tbls[[1]][-1,]
mimeTypeExtensions = structure(as.character(tmp[[2]]), names = gsub("^\.", "", tmp[[1]]))
save(mimeTypeExtensions, file = "data/mimeTypeExtensions.rda")
The IANA list is not as convenient to programmatically compile.
