MIME Type Lookup
Use MIME Type Lookup to inspect a source file and report an inspection report; the workspace turns a source file into an inspection report without hiding the relevant controls.
How to Use MIME Type Lookup
- Prepare a source file and enter or select a source file in the workspace.
- Review the available options, then choose Run to run the task.
- Inspect an inspection report, compare it with the source and selected settings, and save or copy it only after it meets your requirements.
