[repository] mime type addition?

[Stephen McConnell]

Have started some experimentation with content negotiation
and I think I need a mime type addition to server running
www.apache.org.
I have setup the following test content:

 http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/

This contains a single jar file and a test file containing
metadata about the jar file.
 example.jar
 example.jar.meta
I've also put together a little test case that creates a url
to the artifact http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/example
and then sets the "accept" request parameter to "text/x-meta".
Presumably the mime type used here ("text/x-meta") needs to be
declared on the Apache server with a mapping to the ".meta"
extension. 

Does anyone know if this is something I can configure
in the enclosing directory - or do I need post a request to
infrastructure?
Here is a fragment of the relevant java source:

  URL url = new URL( "http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/test/example"; );
  URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
  connection.setRequestProperty( "accept", "text/x-meta" );
  getLogger().info( "input" );
  InputStream input = (InputStream) connection.getContent();
  Properties properties = new Properties();
  properties.load( input );
Without the mime mapping the above code will result in the stuffing
of the jar file into the properties file which is not exactly
what we want.
Cheers, Steve.
