I have used 'make-path->mime-type' which gives back a procedure for the
relevant MIME type. For eg:
> (make-path->mime-type (build-path "/home/r00t/Music/" "m.mp3"))
#<procedure:...rivate/mime-types.ss:9:44>
Not sure, how can I obtain the MIME type now? I can see:
make-get-mime-type : path? -> path? -> bytes? in private/mime-types.ss.
Again not sure, how it can be used..
Please suggest.
Best,
Amit
