[dancer-users] setting mime type

[Hermen Lesscher]

Hi Puneet,



A bit off-topic, but I had trouble with a similar setup, serving the 
video files with Dancer did not work for me (using the send_file 
method). Well, it worked everywhere, except on iOS devices (iPAd, iPhone).
I had to resort (very unwillingly, there is a lot of access checking 
involved) to serving the videofiles via Apache, and the rest of the 
Dancer app proxie'd (using starman).

My experience was that it had nothing to do with mime-types, but more 
with quirks in iOS, but I would love to be corrected on this.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Hermen Lesscher
(A happy Dancer user)
