Summary: Dynamic mime-types Product: openZIM Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: zimlib AssignedTo: tommi@tntnet.org ReportedBy: emmanuel@engelhart.org CC: dev-l@openzim.org Estimated Hours: 0.0
Currently, the ZIM format can only support a limited and predefined set of document mime-types.
You can get the list of supported mime-types here: http://www.openzim.org/ZIM_File_Format#Mime_types
Mime-types are represented by a number in a ZIM file, and the mapping is done statically by the zimlib.
This means than you can not store document with custom mime-type.
This is a problem for me because I have people who use Kiwix and deal with other mime-types, for example: archives or binaries.
I think, this is a necessary improvement to make this mime-type table dynamic.
I see two solutions : * The ZIM file creator specify it manually during the creation process. * It goes automatically (also during the creation process).

--- Comment #1 from Emmanuel Engelhart emmanuel@engelhart.org 2010-03-26 11:39:06 CET --- This is done. The mime-types have to be specified by the ZIM file creator in the DB (or done auto. from the building script).
