[Tutor] Determine Filetype

[admin at gg-lab.net]

Hi All,

the solution was in the link i've posted before. If i use:

type = imghdr.what('img.test', image.data)

The imghdr modules ignore the filename (first argument) and takes the
second as a data stream assumed to contain the filetype.

The solution only works for images, but that's what i need. I think
that right now is not possible to generally determine the mimetype for
all types of files on GAE, because some libraries are missing. Anyway,
i'll send a mail to the gae mailing list, and if find a solution i'll
post it here.

Thankyou all guys.
