hi,
actually, the entry for djvu files is :
<mime-type type="image/x-djvu">
<magic priority="50">
<match type="string" value="FORM" offset="4">
<match type="string" value="DJVU" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="DJVM" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="BM44" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="PM44" offset="12"/>
</match>
</magic>
</mime-type>
it contains 1 error and 3 missing elements :
current mime-type is not the official one
2 glob for file extensions : .djv & .djvu
1 alias for the bad mime-type
so, it should be something like this :
<mime-type type="image/vnd.djvu">
<magic priority="50">
<match type="string" value="FORM" offset="4">
<match type="string" value="DJVU" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="DJVM" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="BM44" offset="12"/>
<match type="string" value="PM44" offset="12"/>
</match>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.djvu"/>
<glob pattern="*.djv"/>
<alias type="image/x-djvu"/>
<comment>DjVu Libre image</comment>
<comment xml:lang="fr">Image DjVu Libre</comment>
</mime-type>
for the good mime-type, i directly asked one of the people involded in the
djvu format codec/code. so, it is a sure thing.
to quote him :
> Furthermore, the official mime type for DjVu is image/vnd.djvu.But some
> viewers are unaware of this and require image/x-djvu.Whichever you use
> is more a policy decision than a technical choice.
any comment is welcomed.
