CodeIgniter 4 get_mime_by_extension

https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/helpe..._extension

Did this not get ported over from CI3?

I checked here: https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgnit...elper.html
and here: https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgnit...pload.html

I searched this forum and google.

It's in the context of this code:

PHP Code:

$this->output->set_content_type(get_mime_by_extension($thumb_path));
$this->output->set_output(file_get_contents($thumb_path)); 


I think needs to become something like this:

PHP Code:

$this->response->setContentType(get_mime_by_extension($thumb_path));
$this->response->setBody(file_get_contents($thumb_path)); 


Am I correct that that the equivalent to set_output() is setBody from the Message Class? That also wasn't clear here: https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgnit...the-output

CI3 User Guide says "This is not an accurate way of determining file MIME types, and is here strictly for convenience. It should not be used for security purposes."
Maybe that's why CI4 doesn't have get_mime_by_extension().

If you must use it, it is a simple function. You can copy it from CI3 by yourself.

Yeah, I saw that. I'll create a github issue for the technical debt in our repo.

Any thoughts on the question about set_output()?

You are correct on the setBody.
