Bug #113980 for HTTP-Server-Simple-Static: Switching to 0.09 over 0.07 broke our Smolder install

Subject:

Switching to 0.09 over 0.07 broke our Smolder install

I migrated an install of Smolder to a new box, and installed latest/greatest modules as part of it. When I did that, I found that I was getting incorrect Content-Type headers served up, as described in #91321. My smoking gun was: perl -MData::Dumper -MFile::LibMagic -e'$x=File::LibMagic->new->info_from_filename("/usr/local/share/perl5/auto/share/dist/Smolder/htdocs/style/style.css"); print Dumper $x;' $VAR1 = { 'mime_with_encoding' => 'text/x-c; charset=us-ascii', 'description' => 'ASCII C program text', 'encoding' => 'us-ascii', 'mime_type' => 'text/x-c' }; Reverting to version 0.07 of HTTP::Server::Simple::Static solved my problems.

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten about this issue. I've just uploaded version 0.10 which does the simple obvious thing for file names which match *.html?, *.css and *.txt. It still uses LibMagic for anything else. Stephen On Mon Apr 25 16:10:23 2016, PETDANCE wrote: Show quoted text

The one that actually broke the smolder install was .js files. Firefox would fetch the .js file correctly, but not process it as JavaScript because the Content-Type was wrong. I apologize for not mentioning that in the first place.

ok, I've added in a mapping for *.js to application/javascript. This makes me wonder if I'd be better using the MIME::Types module to do this sort of thing. I'll think a bit more about whether that would be better than using LibMagic which is clearly not that reliable. Stephen
