As a rule of thumb, I would first try to get a mime-type I can trust, and only if I cannot (I get for example application/octet-stream), I would try to sniff the type. But in your case you may be right by just sniffing it. Tomeu _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
