Subject: no text/csv mime-type
The MIME type text/comma-separated-values is included with MIME::Types, but text/csv is conspicuously absent. Background and more information: According to RFC 4180, section 3 [0], the IANA has registered text/csv as the MIME type for CSV files. While both text/comma-separated-values and text/csv are widely used and supported, text/comma-separated-values is not the IANA registered MIME type for CSV files. There seems to be no obvious reason why both cannot be supported within the context of MIME::Types; thus it seems rather odd that text/csv is absent from MIME::Types. I would include a patch, but this addition is so trivial that it would be rather inane of me to include one. [0] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180#page-4
Agreed. I am looking for a volunteer to check the whole list against current IANA tables.
