Bug #2966
closedNo longer possible to easily redefine default mimetype per site?
Description
Hello,
In my config file I have:
$HTTP["host"] == "sitename.example.com" {
mimetype.assign += ("" => "text/html")
}
This is because a particular site has a ton of static HTML files without extension (and this is not changeable). This works on 1.4.45. After upgrading to 1.4.53 the above config line fails with:
Duplicate array-key ''
Because there is now /usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.conf.pl, which contains:
# enable caching for unknown mime types:
"" => "application/octet-stream"
What would be the recommended way to redefine the default mime type now? Or the only way now is to copy create-mime.conf.pl and change it to undo this addition? Any other advice?
Thanks

This is a question. Questions belong in the forum. Also, you have not posted your entire config (or a sufficient portion of it). Please post in the forums and provide more details. See the "Forums" tab near the top of the page.

This is only formulated as a question to try being polite and leave the possibility that I'm missing something here. If you want a bug report, here's your bug report: please undo the thoughtless change in default config which breaks compatibility with real-world set up in use by people. Thanks

I politely asked that you post in the forums and provide more information, neither of which you have done yet.
See also #2597 where you asked a similar question 4 years ago.

One option: mod_magnet magnet.attract-response-start-to
with a simple lua script to check response header Content-Type
and choose whether or not to redefine the value for the Content-Type
header in the response.
