Description

If I have the following:

compress.filetype  = ("text/plain", "text/css", "text/javascript", "text/html")

and

".js" => "text/javascript; charset=utf-8",

in mime-types.conf, then the file won't be sent compressed, because the charset=utf-8 prevents the parser, which does a simple string comparison, to recognize it as a valid filetype.

If I change to:

compress.filetype  = ("text/plain", "text/css", "text/javascript; charset=utf-8", "text/html")

it works.

This should probably be fixed, although it could have performance implications

I just noticed that this fact is documented in the Wiki... so the developers maybe do not want to fix this issue.

as mentioned on irc already. parsing the mime type string could in worst case lead to looping through the compress.filetype array twice. so there could be a performance impact. (small one though)
