Package: libmagic1
Version: 4.06-1
Severity: normal
Hello:
There seems to be a mismatch between the contents of two of the files
used to map file contents to both textual descriptions and MIME types:
/usr/share/misc/file/magic
/usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime
I realized this when "file some_html_file.html" reports it is indeed a
"HTML document text", but "file -s same_html_file.html" reports MIME
type "text/plain".
In /usr/share/misc/file/magic we have (among others, just an example):
0 string/cB \<!doctype\ html HTML document text
0 string/cb \<!doctype exported SGML document text
In /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime we have:
0 string \<!doctype\ HTML text/html
0 string \<!DOCTYPE\ HTML text/html
0 string \<!doctype\ html text/html
0 string \<!doctype\ HTML text/html
The "case insentive-ness" in the first file matches more "HTML files"
that the four entries in the second, and in some cases you get
different results based on the file contents, for example:
user:box~$ head -2 /tmp/index.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
user:box~$ file /tmp/index.html
/tmp/windows.html: HTML document text
user:box~$ file -i /tmp/index.html
/tmp/windows.html: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Keep up the good work !
