Re^2: Problem with uploaded (http) files with File::MMagic

Actually, that is all of my 'test' program

Line 271 appears to refers to /usr/share/file/magic.mime

I do see that there are some differences in the magic.mime file for systems.

Well it's a good thing you didn't show us the contents of line 271 of your /usr/share/file/magic.mime file. Otherwise we might have a clue to the problem. We wouldn't want that, would we? On a more serious note, I briefly looked over my local /usr/share/file/magic.mime file and didn't see anything particularly different in the region of line 271, but at line 303 in mine, I have the line: `#0 regex BEGIN[[:space:]][{] application/x-awk` [download] and at line 640: `0 regex [Cc]onstant[[:space:]]+[Ss]tory text/x-inform` [download] Those are the only two lines mentioning 'regex' in my file. Perhaps you could make a copy of your file and remove the regex lines and see if it works? ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.*	[reply] [d/l] [select]
