Hi, I thought there was a problem related MIME type of html file without extension, being considered as 'application/octet-stream' by httpd,it would seems the problem is more specifically that they are attributed a wrong Content-Type header.
As an answer to that the developer of Datenstrom Yellow suggested a patch for httpd: No Content-Type header if MIME type is unknown Here is a link to the patch diff : https://github.com/datenstrom/yellow/issues/317#issuecomment-378219514 That would solve the issue with html files without extension being attributed the wrong Content-Type header I know it would have been better to submit changes to busybox git, but I don't know how. Note : Looking into that made me wonder, is it possible to change the MIME type attributed to files without extension from httpd.conf ? I saw that it is possible to edit Mime type associations for specific extensions, is there a wild card or something for those without one ? xisd: > > Hello, > > I had some trouble using busybox httpd to serve a static website and I > thought the issue might be of interest. > > My problem is related to something that seem quite common for static > site generator : the use of html files without the '.html' extension > (it is called 'clean url'...) > > Most web server guess that these files are html and display them like > any other .html files. > >>From what I understood, the MIME type for files without extension in > busybox htttp default settings is 'application/octet-stream', and > because of that 'clean url' pages are not displayed. > > It is only trouble because I wanted to deploy my website on freshly > installed linux without editing any configuration. > > The default MIME setting make sense to me as it is, I just thought that > might be worth mentioning since the use of 'clean url' seem to be a > common practice for static sites generators (the one I use is callled > 'yellow' (https://github.com/datenstrom/yellow)) > > Here is a link for the related issue on github : > https://github.com/datenstrom/yellow/issues/317 > _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
