Re: getting the JDK built-in web server to set the correct mime type

[Alex Mitchell <lexaay at gmail dot com>]

Hi Per,

(sorry, this bounced from the mailing list so resending as plain text)

Thanks for fixing this, and sorry for not replying earlier, I seem to
have missed this email.

I see that you've committed this change to SVN. Unfortunately I think
there's a minor error, as I'm still getting invalid mime type when
browsing files using IE.

I believe lines 426-428 in Path.java should be

        if (contentType == null) {
            contentType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(getPath());
        }

rather than

        if (contentType != null) {
            contentType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(getPath());
        }

After making this change, the mime type seems to be detected correctly.

thanks,
Alex
