Keep in mind that this isn't a flag for compressibility: tarballs are well known to work well with gzip.
from mime-db.
Also note that partial text / binary files do exist.
from mime-db.
what would ew call this field? encoding
? some values:
text
binary
['text', 'binary']
?
from mime-db.
representation?
from mime-db.
i'm wondering how we would name this field and how to represent all the possible values as @Fishrock123 stated
from mime-db.
i meant representation
as a possible name, haha. sorry, was on a phone at that time, so didn't want to type a lot
from mime-db.
oh. that's not what i think of when i read "representation".
from mime-db.
so shall we use representation
or what? i think it should be encodings
or something. otherwise, we can delay this until after v1 since it shouldn't break anything
from mime-db.
+1
Just stating it would be incredibly handy for our webserver if we can differentiate whether a file has binary support or not.
Also confirming that compressable and binary are not related
Also happy with representation as a name
from mime-db.
I'm implementing this and going with encoding
as the name, as it's what the IANA database uses.
from mime-db.
Sounds good. But then is should be the actual encoding, not just binary
/ text
.
Edit: oh, right, that doesn't make much sense for text.
Edit2: wrong damn button
from mime-db.
Darn the registry is so old, lol. SO many say 8bit
or 7bit
because of email and stuff.
from mime-db.
Apparently they come from ye olde RFC 1341, which specifies them as this:
base64
quoted-printable
7bit
"[...] means that the data is all represented as short lines of US-ASCII data."8bit
"[...] means that the lines are short, but there may be non-ASCII characters (octets with the high-order bit set)"binary
"[...] means that not only may non-ASCII characters be present, but also that the lines are not necessarily short enough for SMTP transport"
from mime-db.
wow, real useful lol
from mime-db.
So I think what I'm going to do is export a encoding
property that is either "text"
or "binary"
. If someone really wants to know about the above, we can always export a transferEncoding
property or some such.
from mime-db.
Also note that partial text / binary files do exist.
Are you in Instance talking of Binary Text such as Platform based, Given units of measurement Platform based units such as 3a3ec68c <--- in short until creating a name for the game server your name remains this, now this is Short or not a real Binary from anything I'm working on Just tagged partial from a file'
jonathanong wanted to know a good name for his Folder I have a good name if, this is a short example:
