Mimer¶ ↑
Mimer tries to find a file’s mime-type by using unix’ ‘file` command. File extensions are never used to identify a file.
Mimer has been tested to work on Debian 5.0 and Mac OS X 10.5+. This gem is useless on Windows.
Install¶ ↑
gem install mimer_plus
You may need to install the gemcutter gem first.
Usage¶ ↑
It’s quite easy:
$ mimer = Mimer.identify('/tmp/testfile')
$ mimer.mime_type
=> "image/jpeg; charset=binary"
$ mimer.text?
=> false
$ mimer.image?
=> true
$ mimer.some_strange_type?
=> false

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
