public static boolean isMediaTypeOctet(String contentType,

                           throws IOException

fixContentType

public static String fixContentType(String contentType,
 String fileName,
 boolean debug)

Fixes malformed MIME content types in file attachments. Some email clients or servers generate incorrect MIME types with invalid characters (dots, spaces) around the slash separator. This method cleans up these common formatting errors to ensure proper content type recognition. Common fixes applied: - application/.pdf → application/pdf - text /html → text/html - image. /jpeg → image/jpeg - application . /pdf → application/pdf The method also converts 'application/octet-stream' into 'application/pdf' if the file is a pdf file. prefixes will be striped automatically.

Parameters:

snapshot - the ItemCollection containing FileData objects to fix
