New submission from Dong-hee Na <donghee.n...@gmail.com>:
The current mimetypes.guess_type API guesses file types based on file extensions. However, there is a more accurate method which is calling sniffing. Some languages like Go(https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#DetectContentType) provides mimesniff API and the method is implemented based on a standard way which is published on https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/ I have a sample code implementation this https://github.com/corona10/mimesniff/blob/master/mimesniff/mimesniff.py But the API interface will be changed to mimetypes API. So I would like to provide mimetypes.sniff API rather than a new stdlib package like mimesniff. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 370591 nosy: corona10, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Implement mimetypes.sniff type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
