> Some of the mime type handling is done in the common module (see the org.gatein.common.net.media package). In the GateIn portal and WSRP module (and probably in other modules as well) mime types are also partially handled.
> What we need is to handle more of the mime types in the common module or use a third party mime type library.
> What we would need done is:
> 1) determine if we are dealing with text content or binary content. 
> -We cannot assume that if the mime type is not 'text' then we are dealing with binary content. 'application/javascript' or 'application/emcascript' should be considered as text. We need to create a list to determine this (and include the non standard x-* types)
> -We also cannot determine if we are dealing with text or binary content based on if we receive characters or bytes back. The text content can be returned as a byte array.
> 2) properly determine the encoding of text content. The encoding type can be determined by looking at the first few bytes of data (this is optional), we are currently not looking into bytes to determine the encoding.
