GPX File Attachment Mime-Type ?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to configure the forums, so you all can attach GPS tracks using the GPX file format, but I need to know what is the Attachment Mime-Type.

Anybody know ? I looked up the list of mime types in the forum software, GPX file was not listed.

Thanks !

Crawdaddy, Strega and/or SanDiegoLand probably know the answer to this.

There isn't an official MIME Type for GPX files.

I'd choose:

Type ID: 0

MIME Type: text/plain

or

Type ID: 2

MIME Type: text/html

I don't know the text/xml Type ID is...RFC 3023 is the specific XML Mime Type for XML Data.

I don't know what type of interface you're using, so I don't really know what information to give you other than this.

It's more of a computer geek thing.......Uncle Cammeron and Strega need to do some sort of Star Trek Vulcan Mind Meld......

Strega, if you can look at this link, and see if any of the MIME types pertain to GPX file attachments, please let me know........I can't make any sense of it.

Thanks !

Are .zip files directly supported?

I know it's an extra step, but if they are then it's simple for most folks to zip the GPX file before uploading.
