EDIT

no release 3.3.1 of the taxeditor so I am moving all tickets to the next milestone 3.3.2

I will investigate the need for having the mime type of images in the database.

the mime type of media is important because the dataportal decides based on the mime type how to handle the media entity. This is especially important for PDFs since these are otherwise not identifieable (A url to a pdf must not nessecarily have the according file extension)

The media with the following mimetypes are currently supported for protologue 
links:
'application/pdf',
'image/png',
'image/jpeg',
'image/gif',
'text/html',
text/html 
is for web pages and would be the correct mimetype in the case of the link 
http://botanicus.org/page/763009
Just add this as mimetype and it should work. 

I seem to remember that the Editor is missing to automatically fill the mimetype 
when a media URL is entered.

As this is already partly implemented we probably only need to adapt the existing algorithm.

@Andreas K., as you have the most experience with MIME type recognition, can you leave information in this ticket how the algorithm could be improved. This is especially important for links to ordinary websites or webapplications. How can they be recognized (if at all) and what MIME type to use (probably it should be the default mime type.

Maybe we should also add a dropdown for the most common mime types to use. This is easy to use for the seldom case that the MIME type was not recognized by the algorithm correctly. Freetext editing of mime type should still be possible but is not very comfortalbe for the user.
