mimetype.assign option 
======================

mimetype.assign

    list of known mimetype mappings NOTE: if no mapping is given "application/octet-stream" is used

    Example: ::

      mimetype.assign   = ( ".png"  => "image/png",
                      ".jpg"  => "image/jpeg",
                      ".jpeg" => "image/jpeg",
                      ".html" => "text/html",
                      ".txt"  => "text/plain" )

    The list is compared top down and the first match is taken. This is important if you have matches like:
    ::

      ".tar.gz" => "application/x-tgz",
      ".gz" => "application/x-gzip",

    If you want to set another default mimetype use: ::

     ...,
     "" => "text/plain" )

    as the last entry in the list.
