Hi guys,

I noticed that the resolution for scripts in microsling is based on
the mime-type
and not how I would have expected based on the extension.
Personally, I think that this is somewhat confusing since the rest of the
script resolution (selectors) is straight from the request url.

I think that the additional indirection to go through a mime-type table adds
complexity (since it is yet another mechanism) and is questionable to begin
with since somehow it seems to tie the response mime-type into the request
behaviour for no apparent reason. I know of a lot of cases where the
same response script offers responses in various (not limited) mime-types,
based on what the user uploaded to the repository.

Personally, I would rather just go for a straight, more direct extension-based
resolution than engaging in the whole mimetype business.

regards,
david
