RFE: add mimetype for Matroska
Last modified: 2013-10-15 02:43:58 EDT
Description of problem: /etc/mime.types doesn't have Matroska MIME types. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailcap-2.1.41-1.fc19.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. grep -i matroska /etc/mime.types Actual results: nothing Expected results: Some MIME types. Additional info: Quoting from http://matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html#MIME There is no IETF endorsed MIME type for Matroska files. But you can use the ones we have defined on our web server : .mka : Matroska audio audio/x-matroska .mkv : Matroska video video/x-matroska .mk3d : Matroska 3D video video/x-matroska-3d
Adding private types like these is usually frowned upon, but done upstream anyway. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/mailcap.git/commit/?id=daf289580724822821a786988ed2209d54a56af4
