woff mime type

[pkra]

By default, WOFF files are stored with application/x-font-woff. This works but throws warnings in some browsers.

The WOFF spec specifies application/font-woff.

For reference, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3594823/mime-type-for-woff-fonts

The behavior you're seeing is caused by Python's mimetypes.guess_type call (http://docs.python.org/2/library/mimetypes.html). It would be difficult to update the mapping in that library.

If you're running on Linux or MacOS you might try setting use_magicfile=True in the GSUtil section of your boto config file. That causes Unix "magic" file recognition of content type, which is often more robust and up-to-date (and, it's user-customizable). (See 'gsutil help metadata' for details.)

I'm closing this issue because we don't want to get gsutil into the business of trying to track file type->mime type mappings.

Thanks for the clarification and suggestions.

@mfschwartz There is an API for setting global default ACL's... why isn't there one for setting global default mime for specified extensions... Like VTT or Woff

Seems like basic important functionality for static file hosting
