in reply to Problem with uploaded (http) files with File::MMagic

Sorry about not putting the cotents of usr/share/file/magic.mime at 271

line 271 in that file had the following:

0  regex       BEGIN[[:space:]]*[{]    application/x-awk

As suggested (by roboticus), I took it out. I did not get the error, but I got the mime type as

application/octet-stream

instead of audio/mpeg

I am thinking of going another way of finding the mime type. Changing system files to get it to work may not always work.

    You might try inserting the audio/mpeg line(s) from the magic.mime file that works into the magic.mime file that doesn't.
