+SUMMARY="Guess media type for a file or a URL"
+DESCRIPTION="This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME) types and \
+encodings. The mapping from file extensions to media types is defined by the media.types file. If \
+the ~/config/settings/media.types file exists it is used instead. For backwards compatibility we \
+will also look for ~/config/settings/mime.types."
