Azure Blob Deployment - Files content type

We plan to use Azure Blob Deployment to push our static assets to our CDN. We found that it is possible to unzip an artifact using unizp: true which is awesome. However the default content type of a blob is always application/octet-stream. It whould be nice to add a flag like set_content_type: true that would set the content type based on the file extension.

If you have any ideas of a workaround for now it would be also appreciated!

   Yes, currently AppVeyor doesn't set content type of uploaded blob. The only workaround there could be your own PS script (or C# code) modifying uploaded blobs

   We can add support for set_content_type and deploy next week. MimeMapping can be used to translate extensions into MIME types.

   Cool, that would be nice to have the set_content_type flag but for now I wrote a very basic .exe that does the trick.

   Here is the Github repository containing the executable

   Nice! I was sure MimeMapping is pretty outdated :)

   Any plans for set_content_type or the like? I create some svg badges as artifacts during build, but embeding them doesn't work because of application/octet-stream.

   set_content_type is already supported.

   How can I use that for build artifacts? I'm trying to embed a url like https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/AxelHeer/nein-linq/artifacts/T...

   I've been using the set_content_type option which is great, however it doesn't work for some of the popular font mime types.

   Is this mime type mapping managed by AppVeyor and if so would it be possible to add the mime mappings for popular font types, specifically;

   .woff2 - font/woff2
   .otf - font/otf

   If not I'll need to look at doing it via powershell but it seems like a pain to do

   we can add a mapping for .woff2, but there is already a mapping for .otf but it's mapped to application/font-sfnt (is that correct?)
