Class Mimetypes

java.lang.Object

com.amazonaws.services.s3.util.Mimetypes

public final class Mimetypes
extends Object

Utility class that maintains a listing of known Mimetypes, and determines the mimetype of files based on file extensions.

This class is obtained with the {#link getInstance() method. It has a default extension to mimetype mapping which is taken from the Apache HTTP server's mime.types file. New mappings can be added or overwritten by registerMimetype(String, String).

The format for mime type setting documents is: mimetype + extension (+ extension)*. Any blank lines in the file are ignored, as are lines starting with # which are considered comments. Lines that have a mimetype but no associated extensions are also ignored.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static Mimetypes getInstance()

Gets an instance of Mimetypes with default mime type info. You can load more via loadAndReplaceMimetypes(InputStream).

For more information about Internet media types, please read RFC 2045, 2046, 2047, 2048, and 2077. The Internet media type registry is at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

Returns:

an instance of Mimetypes

loadAndReplaceMimetypes

public void loadAndReplaceMimetypes(InputStream is)
                             throws IOException

Reads and stores the mime type setting corresponding to a file extension, by reading text from an InputStream. If a mime type setting already exists when this method is run, the mime type value is replaced with the newer one.

Parameters:

is -

Throws:

IOException

getMimetype

public String getMimetype(String fileName)

Determines the mimetype of a file by looking up the file's extension in an internal listing to find the corresponding mime type. If the file has no extension, or the extension is not available in the listing contained in this class, the default mimetype application/octet-stream is returned.

A file extension is one or more characters that occur after the last period (.) in the file's name. If a file has an extension, Guesses the mimetype of file data based on the file's extension.

Parameters:

fileName - The name of the file whose extension may match a known mimetype.

Returns:

The file's mimetype based on its extension, or a default value of application/octet-stream if a mime type value cannot be found.

getMimetype

public String getMimetype(File file)

Determines the mimetype of a file by looking up the file's extension in an internal listing to find the corresponding mime type. If the file has no extension, or the extension is not available in the listing contained in this class, the default mimetype application/octet-stream is returned.

A file extension is one or more characters that occur after the last period (.) in the file's name. If a file has no extension, Guesses the mimetype of file data based on the file's extension.

Parameters:

file - the file whose extension may match a known mimetype.

Returns:

the file's mimetype based on its extension, or a default value of application/octet-stream if a mime type value cannot be found.

registerMimetype

public void registerMimetype(String extension,
                             String mimetype)

Register a new mimetype for the given extension. If a mapping for the extension exists, this will overwrite it. Note that extension is case insensitive.

Parameters:

extension - a file extension

mimetype - mime type string
