Hello,
The comment about the registry was there before I made any changes. My only
change was to add 'text/xml' as content-type for extension 'xml'. For now my
only need is this extra content-type, not another way of managing the list of
content-types.
When using Flash, if you have the need to do cross-domain-scripting, you have
to have a file called crossdomain.xml on the root, defining the rules for
crossdomain-scripting. And the content-type has to be text/xml when downloaded
to flash from a server in order to work.
Regards Bjørnar

Hello:
I don't agree that the Registry should be used, because then you limit
the application to those MIME types registered at the local host. What
I propose is that a simple list of mappings between extensions and MIME
types be kept and maintained with ICS (there are many of these
available already), and that an efficient mechanism be built into the
HttpSrv to load these on start up to some sort of searchable memory
structure. I have done this in the past using a custom Red and Black
Balanced Tree, which can then be searched to find the MIME type of a
file extension (and even its transport encoding). I actually
implemented this for automatic file encodings of SMTP attachments.
By keeping it in a simple list, like Apache does, it can be easily
extended and maintained.
