Functions

func GetGUIFileContextFromContentType

func GetGUIFileContextFromContentType(contentTypeRaw string) (
	viewType keybase1.GUIViewType, invariance string)

GetGUIFileContextFromContentType returns necessary data used by GUI for displaying file previews.

The invariance here is derived from viewType, and later added into the url returned to GUI. When a file is requested from the the http server and an invariance field is specified, we make sure the viewType of the file we serve satisfies the invariance provided. This makes sure the viewType doesn't change between when GUI learnt about it and when GUI requested it over HTTP from the webview.
