This module provides for determining the MIME type of a file by looking at a few bytes of its contents.
Status: Extension
Source File:
mod_mime_magic.c
Module Identifier:
mime_magic_module
This module determines the MIME type of files in the same way the Unix file(1) command works: it looks at the first few bytes of the file. It is intended as a "second line of defense" for cases that mod_mime can't resolve. To assure that mod_mime gets first try at determining a file's MIME type, be sure to list mod_mime_magic before mod_mime in the configuration.
This module is derived from a free version of the
file(1)
command for Unix, which uses "magic
numbers" and other hints from a file's contents to figure out
what the contents are. This module is active only if the magic
file is specified by the MimeMagicFile
directive.
The contents of the file are plain ASCII text in 4-5 columns. Blank lines are allowed but ignored. Commented lines use a hash mark "#". The remaining lines are parsed for the following columns:
Column | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | byte number to begin checking from ">" indicates a dependency upon the previous non-">" line |
||||||||||||||||||||||
2 |
type of data to match
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | contents of data to match | ||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | MIME type if matched | ||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | MIME encoding if matched (optional) |
For example, the following magic file lines would recognize some audio formats.
# Sun/NeXT audio data 0 string .snd >12 belong 1 audio/basic >12 belong 2 audio/basic >12 belong 3 audio/basic >12 belong 4 audio/basic >12 belong 5 audio/basic >12 belong 6 audio/basic >12 belong 7 audio/basic >12 belong 23 audio/x-adpcmOr these would recognize the difference between "*.doc" files containing Microsoft Word or FrameMaker documents. (These are incompatible file formats which use the same file suffix.)
# Frame 0 string \<MakerFile application/x-frame 0 string \<MIFFile application/x-frame 0 string \<MakerDictionary application/x-frame 0 string \<MakerScreenFon application/x-frame 0 string \<MML application/x-frame 0 string \<Book application/x-frame 0 string \<Maker application/x-frame # MS-Word 0 string \376\067\0\043 application/msword 0 string \320\317\021\340\241\261 application/msword 0 string \333\245-\0\0\0 application/mswordAn optional MIME encoding can be included as a fifth column. For example, this can recognize gzipped files and set the encoding for them.
# gzip (GNU zip, not to be confused with [Info-ZIP/PKWARE] zip archiver) 0 string \037\213 application/octet-stream x-gzip
However, an effort was made to improve the performance of the original file(1) code to make it fit in a busy web server. It was designed for a server where there are thousands of users who publish their own documents. This is probably very common on intranets. Many times, it's helpful if the server can make more intelligent decisions about a file's contents than the file name allows ...even if just to reduce the "why doesn't my page work" calls when users improperly name their own files. You have to decide if the extra work suits your environment.
When compiling an Apache server, this module should be at or near the top of the list of modules in the Configuration file. The modules are listed in increasing priority so that will mean this one is used only as a last resort, just like it was designed to.

Syntax: MimeMagicFile
file-path
Default: none
Context: server config, virtual
host
Status: Extension
Module: mod_mime_magic
The MimeMagicFile
directive can be used to
enable this module, the default file is distributed at
conf/magic
. Non-rooted paths are relative to the
ServerRoot. Virtual hosts will use the same file as the main
server unless a more specific setting is used, in which case
the more specific setting overrides the main server's file.
