[patch] Treat RTF files with .doc extension as binary

Description (last modified by Thijs Triemstra)

Some .doc files have an application/rdf mime type, e.g. Abiword export-as-doc actually saves a RTF file with a .doc filename. These files are not handled correctly by the Trac MIME viewer, since those RTF files are incorrectly shown as text. The special handling code for RTF (and PostScript and PDF) does not catch this case.

The fix is quite simple:

Detect .doc and .dot files as application/msword
Add application/msword to the TREAT_AS_BINARY list

Trivial patch below:

trac/mimeview/api.py

-              old
+              new
     'application/pdf':        ['pdf'],
     'application/postscript': ['ps'],
     'application/rtf':        ['rtf'],
+    'application/msword':     ['doc', 'dot'],
     'application/x-sh':       ['sh'],
     'application/x-csh':      ['csh'],
     'application/x-troff':    ['nroff', 'roff', 'troff'],
 …
     TREAT_AS_BINARY = [
         'application/pdf',
         'application/postscript',
+        'application/rtf'
+        'application/rtf',
+        'application/msword',
+    ]
     def get_quality_ratio(self, mimetype):

Please include this in your upcoming releases.

Sincerely,

Wouter Bolsterlee <uws@…>

Any chance this gets committed any time soon? It's a trivial patch and would help a lot of users (hopefully).

Wow, finally some activity on this bug after ~30 months! I totally forgot about this, but feel a bit sad now that I it has bitrotted for so long. Sigh.

Sure, but somehow in Gnome Bugzilla or Launchpad I have never seen well-described issues with patches get lost for so long… so this is still a project problem imho.

Replying to uws@…:

I've been going through tickets for a few weeks now, and out of the 900 tickets I found 1 other 'stray' ticket like this (#6289). I wouldn't call it a 'project problem'. Thanks for the patch!
