h1. mimetype.assign option
h2. Description
h3. mimetype.assign
list of known mimetype mappings from file extension to mimetype (and returned in HTTP response header @Content-Type@)
Note: lighttpd 1.4.71 and later provide a small set of the most common extension mappings if lighttpd.conf does not set @mimetype.assign@
Note: if no file extension mapping matches the response file, then "application/octet-stream" is used
Example:
<pre>
mimetype.assign = ( ".png" => "image/png",
".jpg" => "image/jpeg",
".jpeg" => "image/jpeg",
".html" => "text/html",
".txt" => "text/plain;charset=utf-8" )
</pre>
The list is compared top down and the first match is taken. This is important if you have matches like:
<pre>
".tar.gz" => "application/x-tgz",
".gz" => "application/x-gzip",
</pre>
The matches are suffix matches, so file without extensions can also be assigned mimetypes
<pre>
"README" => "text/plain",
</pre>
If you want to set a another default mimetype, set a value for an empty string as the last entry in the list. mimetype use:
<pre>
...,
"" => "text/plain" )
</pre>
as the last entry in the list.

## MimeType handling
