perl-LWP-MediaTypes-6.04-1.26 RPM for noarch

From OpenSuSE Ports Tumbleweed for noarch

This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME)
types and encodings. The mapping from file extensions to media types is
defined by the _media.types_ file. If the _~/.media.types_ file exists it
is used instead. For backwards compatibility we will also look for
_~/.mime.types_.

The following functions are exported by default:

* guess_media_type( $filename )

* guess_media_type( $uri )

* guess_media_type( $filename_or_object, $header_to_modify )

This function tries to guess media type and encoding for a file or objects
that support the a 'path' or 'filename' method, eg, URI or File::Temp
objects. When an object does not support either method, it will be
stringified to determine the filename. It returns the content type, which
is a string like '"text/html"'. In array context it also returns any
content encodings applied (in the order used to encode the file). You can
pass a URI object reference, instead of the file name.

If the type can not be deduced from looking at the file name, then
guess_media_type() will let the '-T' Perl operator take a look. If this
works (and '-T' returns a TRUE value) then we return _text/plain_ as the
type, otherwise we return _application/octet-stream_ as the type.

The optional second argument should be a reference to a HTTP::Headers
object or any object that implements the $obj->header method in a similar
way. When it is present the values of the 'Content-Type' and
'Content-Encoding' will be set for this header.

* media_suffix( $type, ... )

This function will return all suffixes that can be used to denote the
specified media type(s). Wildcard types can be used. In a scalar context it
will return the first suffix found. Examples:

  @suffixes = media_suffix('image/*', 'audio/basic');
  $suffix = media_suffix('text/html');

The following functions are only exported by explicit request:

* add_type( $type, @exts )

Associate a list of file extensions with the given media type. Example:

    add_type("x-world/x-vrml" => qw(wrl vrml));

* add_encoding( $type, @ext )

Associate a list of file extensions with an encoding type. Example:

 add_encoding("x-gzip" => "gz");

* read_media_types( @files )

Parse media types files and add the type mappings found there. Example:

    read_media_types("conf/mime.types");
