# # $Id: MediaTypes.pm,v 1.27 1999/11/16 14:36:24 gisle Exp $ package LWP::MediaTypes; =head1 NAME LWP::MediaTypes - guess media type for a file or a URL =head1 SYNOPSIS use LWP::MediaTypes qw(guess_media_type); $type = guess_media_type("/tmp/foo.gif"); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME) types and encodings. The mapping from file extentions to media types is defined by the F file. If the F<~/.media.types> file exists it is used instead. For backwards compatability we will also look for F<~/.mime.types>. The following functions are exported by default: =over 4 =cut #################################################################### require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); @EXPORT = qw(guess_media_type media_suffix); @EXPORT_OK = qw(add_type add_encoding read_media_types); $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.27 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/); require LWP::Debug; use strict; # note: These hashes will also be filled with the entries found in # the 'media.types' file. my %suffixType = ( 'txt' => 'text/plain', 'html' => 'text/html', 'gif' => 'image/gif', 'jpg' => 'image/jpeg', ); my %suffixExt = ( 'text/plain' => 'txt', 'text/html' => 'html', 'image/gif' => 'gif', 'image/jpeg' => 'jpg', ); #XXX: there should be some way to define this in the media.types files. my %suffixEncoding = ( 'Z' => 'compress', 'gz' => 'gzip', 'hqx' => 'x-hqx', 'uu' => 'x-uuencode', 'z' => 'x-pack', 'bz2' => 'x-bzip2', ); sub _dump { require Data::Dumper; Data::Dumper->new([\%suffixType, \%suffixExt, \%suffixEncoding], [qw(*suffixType *suffixExt *suffixEncoding)])->Dump; } read_media_types(); =item guess_media_type($filename_or_url, [$header_to_modify]) This function tries to guess media type and encoding for a file or url. It returns the content-type, which is a string like C<"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 C<-T> Perl operator take a look. If this works (and C<-T> returns a TRUE value) then we return I as the type, otherwise we return I as the type. The optional second argument should be a reference to a HTTP::Headers object or any object that implements the $obj->header method in a similar way. When it is present the values of the 'Content-Type' and 'Content-Encoding' will be set for this header. =cut sub guess_media_type { my($file, $header) = @_; return undef unless defined $file; my $fullname; if (ref($file)) { # assume URI object $file = $file->path; #XXX should handle non http:, file: or ftp: URIs differently } else { $fullname = $file; # enable peek at actual file } my @encoding = (); my $ct = undef; for (file_exts($file)) { # first check this dot part as encoding spec if (exists $suffixEncoding{$_}) { unshift(@encoding, $suffixEncoding{$_}); next; } if (exists $suffixEncoding{lc $_}) { unshift(@encoding, $suffixEncoding{lc $_}); next; } # check content-type if (exists $suffixType{$_}) { $ct = $suffixType{$_}; last; } if (exists $suffixType{lc $_}) { $ct = $suffixType{lc $_}; last; } # don't know nothing about this dot part, bail out last; } unless (defined $ct) { # Take a look at the file if (defined $fullname) { $ct = (-T $fullname) ? "text/plain" : "application/octet-stream"; } else { $ct = "application/octet-stream"; } } if ($header) { $header->header('Content-Type' => $ct); $header->header('Content-Encoding' => \@encoding) if @encoding; } wantarray ? ($ct, @encoding) : $ct; } =item media_suffix($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'); =cut sub media_suffix { if (!wantarray && @_ == 1 && $_[0] !~ /\*/) { return $suffixExt{$_[0]}; } my(@type) = @_; my(@suffix, $ext, $type); foreach (@type) { if (s/\*/.*/) { while(($ext,$type) = each(%suffixType)) { push(@suffix, $ext) if $type =~ /^$_$/; } } else { while(($ext,$type) = each(%suffixType)) { push(@suffix, $ext) if $type eq $_; } } } wantarray ? @suffix : $suffix[0]; } sub file_exts { require File::Basename; my @parts = reverse split(/\./, File::Basename::basename($_[0])); pop(@parts); # never consider first part @parts; } =back The following functions are only exported by explict request: =over 4 =item add_type($type, @exts) Associate a list of file extensions with the given media type. Example: add_type("x-world/x-vrml" => qw(wrl vrml)); =cut sub add_type { my($type, @exts) = @_; for my $ext (@exts) { $ext =~ s/^\.//; $suffixType{$ext} = $type; } $suffixExt{$type} = $exts[0] if @exts; } =item add_encoding($type, @ext) Associate a list of file extensions with an encoding type. Example: add_encoding("x-gzip" => "gz"); =cut sub add_encoding { my($type, @exts) = @_; for my $ext (@exts) { $ext =~ s/^\.//; $suffixEncoding{$ext} = $type; } } =item read_media_types(@files) Parse media types files and add the type mappings found there. Example: read_media_types("conf/mime.types"); =cut sub read_media_types { my(@files) = @_; local($/, $_) = ("\n", undef); # ensure correct $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR my @priv_files = (); if($^O eq "MacOS") { push(@priv_files, "$ENV{HOME}:media.types", "$ENV{HOME}:mime.types") if defined $ENV{HOME}; # Some does not have a home (for instance Win32) } else { push(@priv_files, "$ENV{HOME}/.media.types", "$ENV{HOME}/.mime.types") if defined $ENV{HOME}; # Some doesn't have a home (for instance Win32) } # Try to locate "media.types" file, and initialize %suffixType from it my $typefile; unless (@files) { if($^O eq "MacOS") { @files = map {$_."LWP:media.types"} @INC; } else { @files = map {"$_/LWP/media.types"} @INC; } push @files, @priv_files; } for $typefile (@files) { local(*TYPE); open(TYPE, $typefile) || next; LWP::Debug::debug("Reading media types from $typefile"); while () { next if /^\s*#/; # comment line next if /^\s*$/; # blank line s/#.*//; # remove end-of-line comments my($type, @exts) = split(' ', $_); add_type($type, @exts); } close(TYPE); } } 1; =back =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 1995-1999 Gisle Aas.
