Hi all!
I was trying to bypass mod_mime for certain mime type, and I wrote this small handler:
--------------------------------
package Apache::MIMEMagic;
$Apache::MIMEMagic::VERSION='0.10';
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK DECLINED);
use File::MMagic;
use strict;     sub handler {     my $r = shift;
my $ct=File::MMagic->new->checktype_filename($r->filename); $r->handler('default-handler'); $r->content_type($ct);
  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
1;
---------------------------------
Since I was running it for a dir under my docroot, i had to set Apache's default-handler. All went fine, docs were correctly served, but in my logs for every served document, this error line appeared:
`Invalid type 'the' at line 1`.

What's the value of $ct?
-----------------------------------------------
package Apache::MIMEMagic;
$Apache::MIMEMagic::VERSION='0.10';
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK DECLINED);
use File::MMagic;
use strict;
sub handler {
  my $r = shift;
my $ct=File::MMagic->new->checktype_filename($r->filename); print STDERR "Filename passed to File::MMagic: ",$r->filename,"\n";
  $r->handler('default-handler');
  print STDERR "After setting the default handler\n";
  $r->content_type($ct);
print STDERR "After setting the content type: $ct, the content_type is: ",$r->content_type,"\n";
  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
1;
With this `print STDERR` debug lines attached, i could realize that the `Invalid type 'the'` error comes out sometimes once sometimes twice per request. $ct is always set to a correct mime/type when it gets printed. Since the error comes from File::MMagic itself (thx to Geoff), I wonder when does the handler get invoked and how many times per request, untill it can set the request_content. Maybe it gets called when $r->filename is undef or eq '', so causing File::MMagic to fail. I'll try to add an if clause.
Thx for your reply.
Mike.
----------------------------------------------
I really wish I could know where this error comes from. Perhaps from mod_mime itself, or...?

grep the apache sources for 'Invalid type' string?
