Is there a standard way to get a MIME type for a given file?

NSFileManager.fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink: doesn't seem to return any MIME information :(

Any straightforward alternatives?


It's a hack, but since Apache comes with every copy of OS X, you could use it's mime.types file. That's just a simple text file with a list of types and filename extensions.

/private/etc/httpd/mime.types

That's not an ideal way to solve this problem. There's a hole in
the APIs here. Hopefully, Apple will add a LaunchServices API method
to get the MIME type for a file. For now, you'll have to use the
deprecated Internet Config API.
