http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26777 Should use user.mime_type ext. attribute where available Summary: Should use user.mime_type ext. attribute where available Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.48 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: mod_mime AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I have checked that the current apache 2.0.48 as shipped in Debian GNU/Linux Sid and run on Linux 2.6.0 with extended file attributes enabled does not seem to have the functionality described here.) Apache should retrieve mime types for files from the extended attribute user.mime_type as defined in the Freedesktop.org shared mime information specification¹. This should, of course, only be done on systems that support extended attributes (thus I'm reporting this only for "Linux" - I don't know the full list of systems that would support this). In the case of files that haven't got the attribute set, it would of course be necessary to fall back to the usual apache mime type recognition methods. It might be appropriate to make this optional (perhaps even on a per-directory-basis) even for systems that support it. (I suspect some systems, such as Mac OS (X) have similiar but different mime type storage methods, which should be supported, but I haven't checked if this is already the case.) ¹ <URL:http://freedesktop.org/Standards/shared-mime-info-spec/0.12/ar01s03.html#id2767803> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
