Mimer
Mimer tries to find a file's mime-type by using unix' file command. File extensions are never used to identify a file.
Mimer has been tested to work on Debian 5.0 and Mac OS X 10.5+. This gem is useless on Windows.
Install
gem install mimer
You may need to install the gemcutter gem first.
Usage
It's quite easy:
mimer = Mimer.identify('/tmp/testfile')
mimer.mime_type
=> "image/jpeg; charset=binary"
mimer.text?
=> false
mimer.image?
=> true

Note on Patches/Pull Requests
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
