Dear Maintainer,
The bug 1102577 was not completly solved.
A ticket exists upstream about the issue:
https://bugs.astron.com/view.php?id=685
I’m copying the way to reproduce bellow:
> echo "test" > test.txt
> zip test.zip test.txt
>
> file -b --mime-type test.zip # Returns: application/zip (correct)
> cat test.zip | file -b --mime-type - # Returns: application/octet-stream
(still broken!)
I found the issue while using python3-magic and trying to find out why
magic.from_buffer did not give the same result as magic.from_file.
It seems a fix exists upstream.
Regards,
