Good evening everybody, I have received the following demand to add associations between media types and file extensions in /etc/mime.types.
----- Forwarded message ----- Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2014 01:13:34 -0500 To: mime-supp...@packages.debian.org Subject: Please add these 5 MIME types to support ClickOnce apps To help Microsoft Visual Studio "ClickOnce" applications deploy smoothly, please add to the debian "mime-support" package these MIME types as described here under "Using Third-Party Web Servers" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228998.aspx application/x-ms-application application application/x-ms-manifest manifest application/octet-stream deploy application/octet-stream msu application/octet-stream msp ----- End forwarded message ----- While I would prefer to accept only the addition of information that has also been submitted to the IANA, this one is backed by upstream documentation, so I am about to update /etc/mime.types accordingly. However, before doing so and for the avoidance of doubt, I just would like to double-check that adding more file suffixes for application/octet-stream is not going to cause problems. Currently the only suffix is "bin". With search engines I have not found evidence of a problem, but if you know one, please let me know.
