I think the problem is that gluon.contenttype is missing some content types, like .webm and .htc, which is a particular problem for static files because there is no way to set it manually in that case. Apache maintains a fairly complete list: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types?view=markup (it includes .webm, but not .htc). I suppose we could also use the Python mimetypes module (http://docs.python.org/library/mimetypes.html), which automatically looks in the common locations for that Apache file as well as other linux mime.types files (and you can call mimetypes.init(files=[list of files]) to point it to specific files to load with the mimetype data).
