#1160: Spelling mistake in gmx:MimeFileType type attribute for python file
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

Component: General | Version: v2.8.0RC2
Keywords: Mime File Type |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Testing GN2.8RC2 + ANZMEST2.8RC2 I upload a file for download
(a python script lookup.py). The 'type' attribute of the gmx:MimeFileType
element in the online resource element-name has a spelling mistake i.e
'type="text/x-scriptphyton"'
<gmd:protocol><gco:CharacterString>
WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download
</gco:CharacterString>
</gmd:protocol>
<gmd:name>
<gmx:MimeFileType type="text/x-scriptphyton">
lookup.py
</gmx:MimeFileType>
</gmd:name>
<gmd:description>
<gco:CharacterString>The link</gco:CharacterString></gmd:description>
I think (not 100% sure, consult standards) it should be
type="text/x-python"

Comment(by ianwallen):
Andrew,
I believe both are valid - it may more less be a question of which one is
more widely used. Based on a quick search on Google it does seem like
text/x-python is more widely used but I'm no mime expert.
Also since they both starts with "x-" it means that they are experimental
- so neither one is official.
For a list of all the duplicate mime types take a look at the following
list which is a merger of several creditable sources. I'm guessing that
Geonetwork is based on one of these sources. You will notice that there
are a lot of duplicates in the list.

Comment(by awalsh):
Ian,
Thank you for that list of file ext/mime types:-
.py text/x-python
.py text/x-scriptphyton
Strange, to me anyway, how its spelled 'phyton'.
I guess not a big problem leaving it as 'text/x-scriptphyton'
for now. As you say the types are not official.

Comment:
GeoNetwork uses medsea mimeutil which basically gets these lists from the
local operating system environment eg. windows registry or unix magic
number stuff (although they can be supplemented by any extras you want to
add yourself) so any spelling mistakes are present in those environments
and not really controlled by GeoNetwork - see WEB-INF/mime-
types.properties for how to add your own (suffix based) mimetypes and the
medsea mimeutil java docs for how to extend further.
