Add support for the 'yml' file extension in file_default_mimetype_mapping()

Created on 19 February 2013, over 12 years ago

If we wanted to create a managed YAML file, currently it is not assigned the proper MIME type mapping. We should add support for the 'yml' extension mapping.

It is interesting to note that there isn't really an accepted MIME type yet for .yml. Some say to use application/yaml. Some say to use text/x-yaml. Since JSON uses application/json, I say we could use application/yaml?

Might have to leave this postponed since yaml isn't even added in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types?view... yet.

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
