This is most likely the underlying libmagic libary.

What does this report?

file --mime-type

@ahupp maybe that discussion in https://github.com/destream-py/destream/pull/20 could have something to do with it. There are different versions of ZIP and they are differently interpreted on different linux/macos versions. Any ideas?

@eumiro I commented there. Looks like maybe the magic db didn't set the mimetype for this new format. But might be fixed in a newer version.

Old issue, and is a problem in libmagic.
