I guess local_urls is irrelevant there.
Not so much irrelevant as pointless. It's not entirely irrelevant because it would be possible to put file:// urls into the local_urls definition, and then these urls would be read by the local_urls handling code rather than the file:// handling code. Ideally, this shouldn't make a difference, but because we're talking about two separate, and not necessarily completely bug-free pieces of code, there's the potential for different results. E.g. you could conceivably get different content-types assigned to a specific file name suffix by the two pieces of code. The file:// handler uses a mime.types file to determine content-type, while the local_urls handler still uses the same limited, hard-coded list of content-types as in 3.1.x. This still needs to be fixed, so that the local_urls handler ends up using the file:// handler code to fetch and type files, for the sake of having consistent results. -- Gilles R.
