I don't know what the HTTP standard has to say about this. It seems to me
to be a bad assumption on phttpd's part, but it may be that the standard
allows it. In any case, it seems it would be a good idea to make htdig
remember the content-type of previously indexed documents, and use it by
default. Unfortunately, that information isn't currently stored in the
database, so it's not exactly a trivial change, and it would require a
full reindexing before the new information would be able to take effect.
Perhaps this should be considered for the 3.2 development.
