Class MimeTypes

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--one.net.MimeTypes

All Implemented Interfaces:

NetConstants

public final class MimeTypes

extends Object

implements NetConstants

Implementation of a mapping between MIME types and file name extensions.

The mapping used by this class is initialized through a configuration file. By default, this file is named "mime.config" and must be located in the current working directory. Though, the "mime.config.name" system property can be used to specify an alternative name and directory. The configuration file contains a line for each MIME type, which first specifies the MIME type followed by a list of one or more file name extensions. All file name extensions map to the specified MIME type; though, the MIME type only maps to the first file name extension. Empty lines or lines starting with a hash mark ('#') are treated as comments.
