x-portable-bitmap file type #198

Closed larytet closed 4 years ago

larytet commented 4 years ago

magic.from_buffer(b'P1 - Mobile Touch - Europe + Australia', mime=True) returns image/x-portable-bitmap

ahupp commented 4 years ago

A portable bitmap file is a text file starting with P1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm_format You can see this behavior in the file command:

ahupp@LAPTOP-KQ5N2P8K:~$ echo 'P1 - Mobile Touch - Europe + Australia' > test.txt
ahupp@LAPTOP-KQ5N2P8K:~$ file --mime-type test.txt
test.txt: image/x-portable-bitmap

If this is really problematic I'd suggest reporting to the libmagic maintainers.

In this case libmagic could check the content more carefully. For example, see that the data starts with P1 following by a bitmap. What is the best way to report an issue in libmagic?
