Undocumented MIME type feature

[Michael]

Some people may find this useful.

There is an undocumented config file option in FlyingAnt that will let you set extra mime types.
In the flyingant.conf file add this option,

mime_types mime.txt


This points to a file in the same directory ("mime.txt") that defines extra mime types (filename does not need to be "mime.txt" this is merely an example). In this file you can specify additional mime types, one per line, in the format <mime type> <extension>. e.g.

application/xhtml+xml xhtml
application/mspowerpoint ppt

This feature isn't working for me. Is there some other way to specify mime types? I am having trouble getting videos to play from a DVD with the server on it.
