madhaha Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 Subspace webmasters, please set the following mimetypes: application/x-subspace-lvl for lvl filesapplication/x-subspace-lvz for lvz files I asked for someone to come up with a standard before but no-one was forthcomming. These are now the ones I use and it'd make sense if everyone used the same. Spread the word.

Grelminar Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Unofficial (i.e., not standardized by some RFC) mime subtypes are supposed to use a prefix of "x-". And although periods are now allowed, they weren't always, so its probably better to use dashes. So I'd go with "application/x-subspace-lvl" and "application/x-subspace-lvz".
Yupa Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 righto if I ever bother to do this, I'll use that
madhaha Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Posted January 23, 2004 *makes notes from grel and makes appropriate changes to the top post* Thankyou Anyone using them yet? I think subspacedownloads should be at the very least. DoCk>> it's shaped like a phallus and i live on a wart on its side Hyrulian> biscuitHyrulian> where in Uk u fromB i s c u i t> spain
★ Mine GO BOOM Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 I've used those for about 3 years for the lvl, and over a year for lvz.
★ SOS Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Sounds rather useless... what's all this for?
SamHughes Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Sounds rather useless... what's all this for?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> For the same reason that text/html is used for HTML do!@#$%^&*ents, image/jpeg used for JPEG images -- so clients can recognize the filetype and act accordingly.
★ SOS Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Mm, ok. I've never seen mime types actualloy used before I can understand that servers+browsers use them (even though I'd still go with extensions) but I can't really see when another program would have use for it. Could you give me an example?
Yupa Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 it's just a little cute thing for websites, so instead of a browser thinking it's just a bmp and displaying it, it thinks it's a "lvl" or "lvz" - whatever those are

★ SOS Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Ah, so it's a browser-fix thing. I see.
★ SOS Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 I am unpinning this since this is useless to the general public. This is only useful if a server is hosting lots of maps in plain form, so... yeah. If any such server appears, the owner can be e-mailed to fix this.
