Mime Type

[ter-pierre]

Hi guys.

I needs to find (ex.) all mp3 files on my file server to remove it.

My "best" users are renaming the files to prevent it to be removed.

Can I check the mime type to certify the type of those files?

some one knows a way to do?

thanks.

Fron what you are asking for, are you trying to see what the true file type it is, even if it is renamed?

I know that you are not "downloading" these files via IE, but read this anyway:

Mime Sniffing- (FEATURE_MIME_SNIFFING)- This control enables checks to the signature bits of downloaded files in order to determine the file's type and render it properly.

Then take a look at:

FindMimeFromData contains hard-coded tests for (currently 26) separate MIME types.....

Perhaps Dale and the DLL gurus could put together something that would really "help" those "best" users.

I think you could be able to filter files by size, 2MB ~ 10MB, then check if file has MP3 tags.

vollyman - Yes. Just this.

herewasplato - Thank you. I will take a look.

Joon - MP3 type was just an exemple. I needs to know the true file type of all files.

I have the fullpathname of the file (ex. E:\TMP\XYZ.txt), and needs to know the true file type of this file.
