New submission from Daniel Black <dys...@gmail.com>:
In https://bugs.python.org/issue36460 (which should be probably be disregarded until AMP is in RFC) I discovered that the types_map dictionary within the mimetypes module is a key: str to key: str (1:1) relationship. The reality is that many filename extensions commonly support multiple content-types and even sub types. A more useful structure might look like: (fne is "file name extension" aka foo) { '.fne': ['type1/subtype', 'type2/subtype'], '.htm': ['text/html', 'text/css', 'text/javascript'], '.html': ['text/html', 'text/css', 'text/javascript'] } However this seems to compete with the functionality of the types map so another consideration is content-types_map where the content-type is the key and the pair values are lists of valid filename extensions: { 'audio/x-aiff': ['.aifc', '.aiff', '.au'], 'text/html': ['.html', '.htm'] } ---------- messages: 339221 nosy: Daniel Black priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: add filename_extension_map and/or content-types_map dict(s) to mimetypes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36489> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
