Thank you for reporting this. Yes, lighttpd could handle this better and I have just pushed a patch to salsa.debian.org/debian/lighttpd master branch. An update to lighttpd is scheduled to be released to testing some time later next week. However, I also urge the media-types maintainers to review their change. Of the 800+ lines in /etc/mime.types, only this new addition lists both uppercase and lowercase for the same extension. It is unnecessary and wasteful. If they are going to duplicate uppercase and lowercase for pgb, then they should do so for all extensions, e.g. jpg and JPG, png and PNG, etc One quickly realizes that this is excessive and wasteful and not the convention in /etc/mime.types. Therefore 'image/vnd.globalgraphics.pgb PGB pgb' is the outlier that should be changed to conform to the existing conventions. Cheers, Glenn
