Description edoceo 2008-12-15 21:49:45 UTC

I really wish that lighttpd used a global mime-types file but oh-well.  I use lighttpd for download in my CDN.  One of the file types is 'dmg' (application/x-apple-diskimage).  I wish that /etc/lighttpd/mime-types.conf included this type so I don't have to edit on all my servers (all three - oh wow!)  I've attached a patch that adds this line to the required file.

Patchy McUnifiedDiff - adds one mime type

It's a single line patch.

More interesting would be a patch that makes lighttpd use the system MIME config. :)

cat /etc/mime.types | awk '// { if ( $1 != "#" &&  $2) print "\t\""$2"\"\t\t =>\t\""$1"\"," }'

this little bugger should get you half way..

this is now in cvs. thanks for the report

you will need to remerge lighttpd to have the new mime-type file installed. (or wait for the next bump, which also will have it).

thanks
kind regards
