864200 - use text/plain mime type for attachments with a .lang extension

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel (relman team) -> :pascalc]

Files with a .lang extension are plain text files in UTF8 we use on several mozilla projects to store translated text.

Currently, when a localizer attaches a .lang file, he or I have to change manually the file type to text/plain otherwise the text is attached as a application/octet-stream  and cannot be seen online.

Please make the default mime type for .lang files be text/plain (and display them with utf8 encoding if possible), thanks

Attachment: patch v1

this extends typesniffer to first type file extension based guessing (which is quicker and should be more accurate than content-based sniffing), with the ability to supplement/override.
