[Bug 16204] New: Registry: Missing MIME character set encoding

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16204

Summary: Registry: Missing MIME character set encoding
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.9
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The Windows API does not offer a way to figure out the code page of a know
character set name, used in MIME enviroment.

The MSDN suggest to use this hard coded table:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776446(VS.85).aspx

But inside Windows there is a way to figure out the translation by using the
Registry. For example the code page of the "big5" character set can be taken by
the following Registry Key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset\Big5]
"Codepage"=dword:000003b6
"InternetEncoding"=dword:000003b6

Unfortunately this Keys are not present in the Wine Registry.

Since there is no Windows API call to figure out this I suggest to add the
related values into the Wine Registry.

What application(s) depend on this?

Have a look at the mlang.dll APIs.

Idepended what I could do with the mlang.dll API - this is an incompatibility
to the Windows system.

I accept that you think you should not handle my report more respectfull - so I
think think I do not need to report further bugs I found.

Good luck with whatever your intension is...

You haven't unswered the question in the Comment #1. If there is no real
world application that uses that then there is no problem to report.

My comment addressed the following claim in your report:

Obviously that's not true.

Read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa741220(VS.85).aspx about
the MIME database. The MIME database in the registry is obsolete, and
might be incomplete or missing completely.

Well, if you have an app that uses that, you can always reopen this bug.

Send a patch for the bug 16195? :-)
