You don't mention what version you're trying to use. The 3.1.x series
most certainly won't deal with file:// URLs and the local_urls
feature in both the production branch and the 3.2 betas don't resolve
MIME types. (The 3.2 code does deal with file:// URLs directly and
has a mime_types attribute to point to a mime.types file.)

If you insist on using file:// URLs, you will want to grab the latest
snapshot of 3.2: <http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/>. If you're
willing to use local_urls, but want to index certain file types
beyond .html, .htm, .txt, and .pdf, for now you'll need to hack the
code in htdig/Document.cc::Retrieve_Local to allow the extension you
want.
