How does HarvestMan determine the file type of dynamically generated server side files (cgi)?

0

Since server-side requests can generate a wide variety of files and there is no way to find out the file type directly, adding logic to identify all such types is not an easy task.The current HarvestMan code contains logic to identify some files and it renames the files accordingly to match the extension of the particular type. HarvestMan can identify GIF, BMP andJPEG image files by comparing the file signature with the standard signatures of these file types. Since this is a rather errorprone approach, there is no guarantee it will work perfectly. Hence it is better not to rely on this feature if you are using HarvestMan.
