Get Image MIME Type? by davidpolitis on 09-17-2007 at 02:54 AM
hi, just wondering if anyone could point me to any functions etc. that could be used to get the MIME type of images such as png, jpg/jpeg, gif.

Volv made some functions for this in a group of files that I'm using for YASS. it looks for the file extension, and returns the MIME for that ext

I need the MIME Type, not the Extension Type XD
I'm not that n00by, but thanks anyway

If you have the file on a webserver you could try using a xmlhttp HEAD request. And get the Content-type header.

oh... awesome Ezra. Just what I wanted it for. I can do it on my own now. Although... it is a bit of a hastle having to download the file and use xmlhttp and I'm not capable of translating this to JScript 
EDIT: I don't need the xmlhttp part anymore. Anyone have any ideas how I can check a local images headers or MIME types?
