Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I believe some of these types are not "official", in the sense that they are supported by an RFC; types that are not defined in an RFC MUST use the x- prefix. E.g. in what RFC is "text/xsl" or "text/xul" defined? IOW, only types listed in http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/ should be supported without x-prefix. Could you please review the entire list of known types with this respect, and update the patch accordingly? |

Logged In: YES user_id=11084 The x-* mimetypes are common used although they might not be officially assigned. I would not remove these from the list. This patch also relates to bug #439710 for better support of user-defined mime-types. Andreas |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I wasn't complaining about the x- types (application/x-javascript); they are fine. I was complaining about using unregistered types without an x- prefix, specifically + '.xsl': 'text/xsl', + '.xul': 'text/xul' These are not valid MIME types, unless I'm missing something. More generally, I was requesting that the IANA registry is analysed and this patch is brought in sync with it. |

Logged In: YES user_id=11084 the mimetypes for .xsl and xul are also in common usage. Andreas |

Just that Microsoft uses them should not cause us to
violate internet standards. RFC 2045 specifies that the
syntax of a subtype is
subtype := extension-token / iana-token
iana-token := <A publicly-defined extension token. Tokens
of this form must be registered with IANA
as specified in RFC 2048.>
x-token := <The two characters "X-" or "x-" followed, with
no intervening white space, by any token>
Since text/xsl and text/xul are not registered as
specified in RFC 2048, they are not valid types.
So our choice is to either follow Microsoft, or follow the
Internet Standards. If the inclusion of text/xsl in the
patch was intentional (rather than a mistake), I recommend
to reject this patch.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I've now applied this patch as mimetypes.py 1.19, removing all the types that were not registered. |
