Mimetype Bug

So I’ve got a file: Name.msg

This file is a microsoft outlook email message file (similar to a .eml file but non-standard…) This file was emailed to me and I’m on a mac.

I use the file command in bash as follows:

$ file --mime-type -b Name.msg 

And the file command gives me the correct mimetype for this file.

application/vnd.ms-outlook

However, when I upload to filestack, the mimetype is reported as ‘undefined’ in the javascript object returned by the callback.

And after completing the upload, if I use the metadata endpoint as follows:

https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/{{handle}}/metadata

I get this back for mimetype:

mimetype | “application/x-msi”

which is wrong.

I know the file command can do it, so I must assume that filestack has a bug in it.

Hi there is an open bug in the library that we are using for detecting mimetype https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type/issues/162 I will try to make some workaround for this until it will be fixed.

Please check the newest release. It should work.
