Deprecated methods are used internally

[mattparlane]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum as this is really just a question, sorry if it's not.

I'm using this library, but I'm trying to canonicalize types, and I'm doing it thus:

def mime_types(type)
  if type == 'application/vnd.ms-excel'
    type = 'application/excel'
  end
  MIME::Types[type]
end

There's probably a much better way, but this works. The point of my question is that when I do this for the above type, I get two deprecation warnings:

MIME::Type#platform? is deprecated and will be removed.
MIME::Type#system? is deprecated and will be removed.

They appear to originate from calls within the library, so I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or if the above method will cease to work in the future.

Thanks,

You're good; it was my error and will be fixed in the 2.2 release this week.

By the way, application/vnd.ms-excel is the correct canonical MIME type; it's the registered MIME type, whereas application/excel is not registered. You may want to reverse your test (and I will properly mark application/excel obsolete and add a use_instead value.

Thanks a bunch!
