Recently, I needed to implement a minimal web server in C#. The .NET HTTP classes worked great, but there’s nothing built in to provide MIME types (other than looking in the registry, which I don’t trust to be complete/consistent). So I extracted the data from the Debian /etc/mime.types file for anything with a file extension and created a simple static class to do lookups for them.
Usage examples:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | // do a lookup String mimeType = MimeType.Get(".jpg"); // the dot is optional String mimeType = MimeType.Get("jpg"); // non-existent extensions will return the default application/octet-stream type String mimeType = MimeType.Get(".foo"); // you can also provide an explicit default type String mimeType = MimeType.Get(".foo", "text/plain"); |
